Nicely Lonely

Sobriety was good only in the past
For all those who are gentle, the die is cast
You reap what you sow, no more
Learn tricks of trade, all over
All the nice guys would always finish the last!


Inspired by Mark Twain's Quote: "Be good and you will be lonely."

Nice! Since Twain, there's still something about the bad boy/girl image that seems to trump the good. But does Twain it will sustain, or slowly wane? :), jill

Thanks for visiting this one. Twain won't wane as he is sane Nicety's turned the bane That's the real problem.
