A Healthy Dose of Reality


Well, a healthy dose of reality
With a check list for security
And a warning against
The under-inflated claims of
Responsibility

Hello, good-bye
It was fine
Here I am
Where to go
I don't know
What's my name
I'm confused

It was fun
Way too short
Vacations
Have that way
About them
Always end
Just before
They begin

This is here
This is now
This is me
I'm allowed
Another chance
To grow and learn
One more lesson

I'd just like
Just for once
To be done
With the dumps
And be on
To the blessing
Of this lesson

Seems I can't
Get it right
Think I'm wrong
For this flight
'Cause my ticket
Isn't printed out
On paper

Always tears
Always flows
Never stop
Don't you know
That's a sign
Pay attention
To your orders

When you see
The red flag
You're supposed
To move away
Why do I always
Seem to edge
Closer

Once again
Light goes on
Past the noon
Way past dawn
Why so long
For the daylight
To hit my sight

Give it up
It's no use
Not for now
Not for use
Until then
When I really
Don't need it

Just the way
That it goes
Suck it up
And go slow
When you drive
Your bike through
Another turnpike

Deeply sigh
Don't know why
Questions empty
On the fly
Well, I'm busy
What with school
And my whatnots

Let's play
A game
Solitaire
Insanity
With great flair
Sounds like
Fun, but I'd
Rather play
Scrabble

And the rules
Seem all wrong
No other players
A bit harsh
Well, I suppose
Since it's me
Against me
That's a twosome

Idly, I,
Standing by
Wonder who
Will win tonight
Will it be me
Or maybe my
Turn to coup
A shutout

So it goes
Once again
Hanging out
With my twin
Ego to ergo
Tempus fidget
Sum come loud

Ok, that's it
I am done
With this
Stupid piece
Of drudge
Back to work
With a smile
'Cause it's
All right :-x
sigh... ;-)
