Ive Taken My Licks

I’ve Taken My Licks Written: by Tom Wright 1/19/2013 Our lives are like a Sugar Daddy Sucker, Where each new day we get one lick; Most days are sweet but oft we pucker, Finding tartness as we near the stick; We find some licks filled with madness, On others the caramel we will taste. Some licks start with joyful gladness, But later with sadness licks are laced. Adversity is a certainty so we tolerate, For each day isn’t filled with glowing. When taste is waning it’s growing late, It’s about finished, if stick is showing.
