Poem Title:
Poem
I might be able to bring an end to all of the world’s turmoil and strife, Because I think that I have stumbled upon the one true meaning of life. It seems it all began a long time ago when Adam got his Eve, Let me tell it to you right away so that you might soon believe. The Lord made Adam fall to sleep and then He took from him a rib, He said “From this I’ll make a woman,” He wasn’t trying to be glib. If there’s one thing in this world I know it’s that ribs should come in racks, And they always should come in one of two ways, St. Louis or baby backs. I prefer the baby backs although St. Louis style has its fans, You should be able to enjoy either one you like with dry rub or sans. You’ll need to coordinate the type of wood you want to use for smoke, That reminds me I wanted to remember to tell you this woodsy joke. It seems there was this young tree hugger, who chained herself to a tree, She told the logger who came for it that you’ll have to cut through me. He said, “Lady, with the chest you’ve got I’ll need to get a bigger saw, You shouldn’t be aloud to wear a shirt that tight at least without a bra.” Now that I think of it, my own shirt is getting kind of tight, I think that the time to start a diet might just about be right. With what I’ve been through I’ve added on one or two extra pounds, Maybe this weekend I should try to golf one or two extra rounds. But golfing is the kind of sport that takes up so much of my time, Perhaps to get myself in better shape a stair master I should climb. When I climb the stairs to go to bed at night, I really am so tired, Sometimes I start to think about the things to which I have aspired. And I wonder if the things that I’ve done will ever add up in my life, Then I turn out the bedroom lights and I kiss my ever-loving wife. That’s when it dawns on me that no matter how my mind is leaning, At that precise moment it’s the thing that gives my life its meaning. That gauzy speculation may be as fleeting as a whisper from a dream, But the next inspiration waits in line for its turn, in my eye to gleam. So please remember that the life you have is a gift from our Creator, Enjoy every second you’re given and live it like there won’t be any later. I hope the meaning of your life is clearer to you now and this can be a sign, But if you’re even more confused, at least you’ve found the meaning of mine.
