I Do Not Sit In the Cheap Seats
Stacked against the odds
in a gamble things go well -
I make the only play I have,,,
with the cards I’ve been dealt
I’ve never been one to settle,,,
for sitting in the cheap seats -
when the bright lights of the good life,,,
are calling me by name.
I’ll choose the life of a winner,,,
or to go down in flames of glory,,
before I’ll give in -
to a life lived in mediocrity.
So roll the dice or flip the card,,,
just hang on cause here we go. .
.It’s better to make the call,,,
than to stand silently through the show.
That’s the way I live my life,,,
both with my money and my time -
I always place my chips,,,
on the sunny side of the deal.
Who care’s about tomorrow,,
If you never lived today-
there’ll be no point in worrying,,,
when you’re laying dead in a grave
(Silly fun write)
