Muddy Waters

Muddy waters makes dirty tea
a glass half full is still half empty
Only love can mend a broken heart whole
and only love can break a heart so
To be first will someday pass
others better will make you last
To tell a lie can ease the truth
Baby Ruth was named for Babe Ruth
Texting while driving where does it lead
six feet under in the cemetery
I drink my coffee black with sugar and cream
if whispers aren't heard better scream
Silly is silly and fun at times
it's even better if it rhymes.
