I Carouse Time Honoured Humility

Walk through life with mirth Laughing, loving, liberating friends and foes Daring to enliven them as from my favourite firth I breaststroke ashore and send a rose To signify my noble intention Meant to fulfill a wish I made to my avatar to diminish tension Within my conscience and denude my desire dish Of detours from contours from the path of bliss My associates and acquaintances so much deserve In a life so unpredictable they and I sometimes miss The turn and urn that burn the best wishes they and I reserve For last if we intend to revive hope To revitalize and sanitize thoughts we aggrandize As we slide and glide on the slope Where without any intention to peddle unhappiness merchandise Associates push me forward to the brink Where all at once my eyes pop open To reveal a peal of laughter that doesn’t shrink From paving the way on the right day for my pen To dribble prevarication and scribble A note to my heart, to my brain Ensuring I no longer nibble At my bliss to decrease the strain in the main That wriggles and sniggles if I should make a wrong move To decrease chances lances of sorrow won’t tomorrow Fly back and forth to prove in a groove If I’m man enough to borrow in a row An idea from altruism to confer on a broken heart Hope for bliss, hope for hope as I grope For a chance and circumstance to play a pivotal part To improve the scope without horoscope That predicts history will judge me harshly If I should shrink from the responsibility To pour love despite the pain I dismiss brashly To browse and carouse a dose of time honoured humility.
