Karen Croft Poet Rhyme

Left Down

life lets me down
everytime i go back to my home town

catching up with friends over time
missing the farmer's spread their lyme

every year that's passed by
it's so hard to say good-bye

another funeral to attend
it's so hard to pretend

that i am happy
until the tears turn me sappy

life is so bitter
nothing could be fitter

then to say good-bye one day
to a life that's handed me nothing to say

but my words on paper
that puts the salad on the capper
