Poem
They ask me why I’m so happy Asking me, if I just won a prize I replied, well I reckon I did Today is a wonderful surprise When you have a past like mine My today is always bright There is no better feeling on earth Than the joy of doing right I may be an old man on a cane My heart is skipping along I learned to embrace the meaning Life is a beautiful song True life has its ups and downs There’ll be forks in the road With a smile I’ll stop for a while Help you with your load I had me a bag of popcorn today It tasted exceptionally good In fact, I will go as far as to say Better then it probably should For years, I had a guard in the pen Popped him a bag each night Then he would simply throw it away His twisted little delight He knew, it was those little things Ate at our heart and soul Movie with the wife Friday night Popcorn in the bowl I had a bag of popcorn today Wife sitting at my side I had a smile, which lasted awhile One I could not hide They ask me why I’m so happy Asking me, if I won a prize I replied, I reckon I did Today is a wonderful surprise For some reason today I was thinking about C.O. Talbert and how he would pop a bag of popcorn even though he didn't eat popcorn. He did it just because he knew it would make everyone want some. I always felt sorry for him. His life must have been very disappointing. The moral here: when you learn to appreciate the little things in life your popcorn will taste a whole lot better.
