Life Is a Turkey Shoot

Life is a turkey shoot at the best of times Nothing's handed to you on a silver platter Gotta get out there and make life happen Contentment is basically all that matters If you can honestly say you've lived your life With the very utmost caring and honesty Then you've come through with flying colours You've lived your own exclusive odyssey Can't ask for more, you're living life's dream Being respectful of your fellow man You can't go wrong it's the way it should be You're living by nature's master plan There'll still be days when you'll sit and wonder What's the purpose of us guys being here Is there some great plan that I'm not aware of You betcha and we all have nothing to fear © Jack Ellison 2015

Hey, got that old Turkey of mine... LOL... Sorry Hubby... I just couldn't help myself. (He says he forgives me)... Anyway, I got him to write down one of his story poems... And I put it on my site. He helps me all the time, so thought he needed a chance to shine. He's on a week's vacation.... Go Hubby... Go!
