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

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.

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

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) !

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
