Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

Life In the Fast Lane

I think I know what life's about
   It's ten a.m. when I set out
To eat, and then I snarf my food
   You know that I am looking good

I go to class, get on my phone
   I tell the teach: "Leave me alone!"
She tells me that I'm gonna flunk
   I tell her: "What a bunch of bunk!"

She sends me to the dean, for what?
   I open his door, begin to strut
He says, "The game is up; get out of here."
   I say, "Thanks much, n'go have a beer...
 
Now it's six p.m., time for dinner
   Fries and a coke will sate this sinner 
Then I'm off, to hit the town 
   Rock-and-roll, and come on down 

I get it on with a foxy chick
   We smoke and drink till we get sick
I hit the sack by midnight's end 
   Then I'm up at ten to do it again 

               ******

I trust you liked my little story
   I hope it didn't anger or bore ye
That it's the truth is plain to see
   The bad part is ~ The joke's on me

Caren Krutsinger December 27, 2018 at 12:25 AM It was fun to pretend I was in the fast lane as I was reading this; I am usually in the fast lane, but in a car. This poem sounds like it came from the soul of a 17 year old child, so we know you are easily in touch with young Gershon which explains your jazzy poems. Gershon Wolf December 27, 2018 at 3:18 PM You've smoked out the truth...although I'd say I was 18 when the s hit the fan... (Like that one? ---Not a bad visual, I must admit). LOL. (It's better than crying). :) gw

Constance La France December 26, 2018 at 8:53 AM Gershon, a fun write and it sums up some teens existence, but somehow they manage to survive it and grew up to be poets (well some of them) ! Gershon Wolf December 26, 2018 at 5:29 PM So true! Somehow people get past those teen and early-20's years---as every generation does... Thank you for your support. Holiday Best, Gershon

Eve Roper December 26, 2018 at 8:39 AM Gershon, oh, my school is so important.and yes the joke is on you. Fast lane can be fun , but can also destroy the life. I know this can not be you :) good write..Happy Holidays. Hugs Eve ~`* Gershon Wolf December 26, 2018 at 5:27 PM You're right, Eve. It's certainly not me...Thanks for the support! Holiday Happiness to you. Best wishes, Gershon
