If's and Buts

IF’s and Buts I started this poem way back in September Dog-eared my journal so I could remember I didn’t have much, just one line in rough-cut And it all started out with “if” and “but” If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts I’d be in a diabetic trance For “ifs” and “buts” have driven me nuts At each and every chance If only I were richer If only I was smarter If only better looking If only a self starter But gambling is a habit of mine But school was a waste of time But I got a Mohawk when high But I am too lazy to try Yes, if “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts I’ve sampled more than my share No one’s fault but my own Now just leave me alone For if truth’s told, I really don’t care Mdailey 3/8/12
