Abundance

A is for apathy, “You all know you are!” B is for itching, “Why can’t I have a car?” U is for the umbilical cord. You never cut from Ma. N is for neutral, “Why should you take a stand?” D is for dependent, “Hey, one always needs a hand!” A is for angry, “Well, why the hell shouldn’t I be?” N is for nostalgia, ‘cause in the past we’re free. C is for the ocks ;) who run the whole damn show!. E is for euthanasia, “When your old just GO!” And all that spells abundance, in case you could not tell? Or went to school in Texas and never learned to spell.

Don't forget our anti=hero George W is from Connecticut. We are in trouble. For eight years we were "Bush" whacked and now the obama bull snow man. When will it all end. Euthanasia is in the health plan and I'm 63. I'm getting nervous. Great write. Gotta love it, Vince

Abundant just like Texas. Deb, I've never entered one of these contests before. How do I do it? My entry would be my latest posting.....about the great white cat. Love, daver. A couple of people think I should enter so...what the hell?

arse? what is this Ireland?? :) so sad I thought your B and C words were typos, now it feels like another case of the self censor to avoid breaking the rules...love the Texas line at the end. one man went to school in Texas and Yale for college but probably still never learned to spell. Oh wait, Bush never actually grew up in Texas did he...nevermind, cute poem nonetheless.
