Last Resort

      Can’t fly, no wings
        no voice, can’t sing

      Can’t act, no passion
        wardrobe's out of fashion

      For music, no ear 	
        quit school, no career     

      Always fall, can’t play ball
         so ~ I chronicle it all

liked the flow of these couplets. I didn't play any sports either...most clumsy! Chose writing and teaching instead.
