L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

My Own Team Sport

I opened the book to tell my story
I sang my song to reveal the tune
I worked my way to top of the heap
I looked forward, then fell asleep
Because I failed to read the words
Because I was deaf to my own song
Because I stepped over my fellowman
Because I was so bored, I fell asleep
I was so wrapped up in my own device
I failed to heed some good advice
Because nothing was of more import
Because I played my own team sport

Mystic Rose Rose October 1, 2021 at 6:11 PM Guess we need to have our priorities in order at times, well delivered MIlton, :) L Milton Hankins October 1, 2021 at 7:41 PM Thank you so much, Vie. I think there is a lot in this little verse that speaks to me, but I think should speak to many, so I decided to share it here.
