Life Story 2

LIFE STORY "Who wrote dese legs?" Said Milligan in Puckoon * He surveyed his nether limbs with distaste and dismay While Jessica Rabbit gave protest of every 'toon' ** "I'm not really bad. It's just that I was drawn this way" I share Milligan's discontent with legs and parts that append As I guess do others, save those narcissistically vain We seek to have some correction and make amend Or at least find some creator whom we can blame But in life's dramas do we not each play some role Maybe having some choice of the part and in writing the script With a character choosing a purpose, determining a goal As we stumble through props and scenery, trap-doors tripped Regardless of who was the author of our book Whether lives are our own or in hands of the fates to make hay The role we have be it hero saint or crook Determines right now the game that we have to play Looking to the future if given that I have a voice In my next life if not made from mud or dregs And I have the good fortune to make some personal choice I will write myself a better pair of legs
