Array ( [sid] => 185367 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Yakity Yak [time] => 2018-08-20 02:37:44 [hometext] => You already know or suspect most of this...but had to say it anyway! [bodytext] => If you look back, what would you share; That you now know from being there!
I always thought it might be nice; To know enough to give advice!

I’ve saved enough to turn me gray; And I can’t GIVE the stuff away!
So I’ve hidden it in rhyme; Here it comes, just one more time:

If you think braces cramp your style; Try living with a crooked smile!
Did parents stick to you like glue? One day you’ll know they cared for you!

If friends won’t lend you any money; thank them soundly one day honey.
When you’re standing on your own; by no one’s hand but yours alone!

If you spent childhood on the roam; You need far less to make a home!
But if you never left your town, then you have life-long friends around!

Those whose plans burst at the seams; are skillful at rebuilding dreams!
But if you’ve always had the best; Jealousy is your big test.

If you’re quiet and understated; You’re told secrets unabated!
If you’re loud and posturing; Youll always be left wondering.

What we cried for yesterday, is seldom what we want today!
And its true, what we expect; is probably just what well get!

Talk is cheap, advice is boring;
Bless your heart for not ignoring!
Had to get it off my plate;
Hope it doesn’t come too late!

Holy Yakity Yak! That was utterly amazing. As I read your advice, my mind said, "Check....check......check" So true, so wise, so correct.

And here is the only line in the poem I take exception to. You are either exercising a white lie for the sake of the /'/fit/'/ with an eye to accommodation, or you are moving to a south sea island without the internet, Which is it, Jaye? heheheh.

"So I’ve......; Here it comes, just one more time"

Better not be!

i leave you with a comment; "You are an incredible human being...how else could you write such incredible poems in which the rhyme scheme fights the content for top spot...the problem is, they BOTH deserve the podium...and that is oh so rare.

G/'/nite, Jaye.

Mike

hold my hand
holding my hand
after being shot
meant a lot
more than a lot
it meant everything

intellectually
of otherwise

just hold my hand
hold onto me

this human,
this sentient being

is always grateful
but yes,
it would be nice
to have the gift
of gab

you know,
as a rebuttal

for lack of
fulfilling expectation
later on

Peace!
