Even Jester Jack
For those who know me, this may be a surprise
My mood lately has been less than upbeat
The years must be catching up with me
Lately I've been thinking a lot about life
How it all seems so very short
Seems like just yesterday, we had our first child
He is now about to turn sixty-four
Where did it go???
I've led a charmed life filled with much joy and happiness
Regrets? Had a few but in the overall scheme of things
My life has been a gem
Often wondered why with all the negativity around
Best to just accept it and enjoy it for the time I have left
I usually write happy, silly, upbeat poems
I guess my way of coping, getting through
But reality sometimes says
“Who are you trying to kid, Jester Jack?”
WELL... this is one of those times!
But have no fear,
I'll wake up tomorrow morning
Greet the world with a dirty big grin
And pretend today never happened!!!
