Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

All My Adventures

     Though I traveled the world 
       I never did find
     aught but vacuous
       women and wine

     Distant shores 
       promised gold
     panned for weeks
       then got rolled  

    Wonders of nature
       thrilled me not
     manmade marvels
       I quickly forgot…

    A fitting end to 
       all my adventures
    Woe is me ~ I lost
       my dentures

Bill Baker August 26, 2025 at 3:16 PM Man, that was one bad streak of luck, Gershon. A winner is on the way, my friend. Fun poetry to read. Bill

sara Etgen-Baker August 24, 2025 at 5:13 PM this poem cracked me up. :-) I can't tell you how many times I lost my retainer...right after college. I drove from Texas to Indiana for a new job...lost it somewhere in the Ozarks . About every six weeks, I misplaced them until finally I said, "No more!" wishing you a pleasant week ahead Gershon Wolf August 24, 2025 at 6:44 PM Kind of like how I can't tell you how many times my temporary bridges have fallen -- or flown -- out over the years. Pretty funny stuff.

Ilene Bauer August 24, 2025 at 2:54 PM Ha! Wasn’t exoecting that, Gershon! Thanks for the grin… Gershon Wolf August 24, 2025 at 6:40 PM You are most welcome. Just make sure that when you grin, your teeth are in. lol. ~ gw

Reya Suri August 24, 2025 at 12:53 PM I love this! It's so funny. The last line made me chuckle. Gershon Wolf August 24, 2025 at 6:37 PM Reya, thanks for brightening my evening. ~ Gershon

John Lawless August 24, 2025 at 4:59 AM that last stanza really looses its bite Gershon Wolf August 24, 2025 at 6:37 PM Heh-heh. I knew I could depend on you to crack me up. Thanks, John.
