Rick Rucker Poet Couplet

I Was Wrong

I was Wrong
by Rick Rucker

I used to think that Life's a race,
Always tried to win First Place!

Now, that I'm old, and gray,
I've begun to feel a different way.

I've adopted a much slower pace,
No more tense muscles in my face.

I've begun to contemplate a move,
Thinking that it might behoove

Me to stay
Where the Hula is performed every day!

Now that I know I won't be alone,
I'll have no need for a phone!

The only one I'd care to call, 
Is getting a massage, in the next stall.

When we both are done,
Back out for some oily fun!

At least once every day,
I will let her, on my organ, play.

It is not a Spinnet,
But a competition, she could win it!

You might think me a fool, 
But wait 'til my age, then you'll

Begin to think like me,
The most blessed things in Life are free!
