Notes About The Poem

Mud Puddle

Mud Puddle 

Has life handed you a kidney stone, Old Timer?
Does the world treat you like a dead gnat in it's oatmeal?
Some days, do you feel like a mud puddle in an ocean?
Do you sense that you are as insignificant 
as a bee fart in a bouquet of roses?
Well listen up Bunkie,
and remember,
the only person 
you are obligated to convince
of your greatness
is you...
