Later a Poet Laureate

Later A Poet Laureate One to me you were so sincere Then one day when you did disappear My heart was broken and I became sad And now I knew I just had been had. Over and over my mind was tormented After I discovered it was demented To God started praying while I kneeled He said it was always best to play the field. I really appreciated such a suggestion After my sins were caught in a confession And slowly together the puzzle was pieced When I started listening to the Priest. One thing at a time should attempt and take And never again will my heart ever break; From God to me another message was sent Have you thought running for President. Should I protest when I heard God's plea? What in the world has come over me? By everyone I would receive all the blame; Bowed out and later Poet Laureate became. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
