Birth To Sonnets

at birth was diamond in mom and dad’s eyes fourth grade through sixth grade I was a joker it’s true in this life I have had some sighs my time in the navy heavy smoker all the women in my life should be queens I know perfection can never be found never shared my heart in my teens after thirty years I made a rebound my wife would sometimes call me an old maid because of my slow off-balance movements never saw action so I’m underpaid today my life has many improvements I love writing sonnets I’m no Shakespeare in a way it makes my life pretty clear
