Darrell Rose Poet Lyric

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)
