My Private Conversation

I had a private conversation, just the other day that I’m quite concerned about! I felt my corespondent, had a flaw or two, that needed to be straightened out! I hoped my words of wisdom, and really sound advice, attracted his immediate attention, so, I wouldn’t have to tell him twice! Well, he listened very carefully, and agreed with what I said! I felt that I was getting through, when he began to nod his head! I said, I know that time is moving on. That life is passing by! But, you can still improve yourself, all you have to do is try! Everyone has their problems! That’s a part of life, no doubt! But none that, with just a little work, cannot be straightened out! We’ve all done things we’re sorry for. We all have made mistakes! That’s part of being human, that’s life, for goodness sakes! So I told him, “you’re a real nice guy”! To that fact, I will assert! “Just keep trying to improve, it surely couldn’t hurt”! So, he agreed to knuckle-down and do the very best he could! To improve the person that he was, just like he knew he should! He went along with all I said! He didn’t disagree! The reason, in case you haven’t figured out, that someone I was talking to - was me!

A very witty comeback poem, Ralph. Kinda like a skunk describing himself!
