Reflections

When I think of all I've done Plans that kept me on the run I kind of wonder every day How I pissed my time away In my thirties there was cash Not one buck saved Not one buck stashed Sure I thought I could reach fame From art or science What a shame For these goals I truly went And never saved a single cent So now it's rough Though I'm not broke Just don't live like other folk My neighbors run out nights for eats Can't afford such costly treats When Winter comes they go away I freeze my rear I'm forced to stay Yet I feel the need to try To make some mark before I die For in truth these other folk Live a life that's just a joke The men dried up some years ago Their wives plan daily where to go Their brains are focused on the past No way to know how long they'll last So my future's not to dread Even now I'll move ahead
