Jerry T Curtis Poet Lyric

My Frencholosophy Song

The mud slide back in eighty six
Took out half my farm
And the war that lit up 69 
Is where I Left one arm

My wife and kids have left me
To part's unknown, somewhere
So I sit here all alone
While losing all my hair

        chorus
Now you can see, what my attitude should be
But instead of mulling around 
I get picked up, when I'm down
As I quote that little phase, that tickles me
"C'est La vie" 

My truck was repo-ed yesterday
My dog and cat ran off
My old friends all moved away
And often I feel lost

        chorus
Now you'll agree, just how happy could I be
When my world has gone to hell
I just get up, where I fell
And whisper those sweet words in ecstasy 
"C'est La Vie"

Dan Helppi October 30, 2014 at 11:35 PM Awesome! especially "parts unknown somewhere," that was flickering good. Jerry T Curtis October 31, 2014 at 6:05 AM Thank you Dan, that's the tricky part of rhyming, most times the poem writes itself.
