Prayer For Bounty

When I'm old and tired
I reckon I'll say and do stuff
in my typically bold way will
inspire people wanna take me down.

I deserve it.
(Deserve is one helluva word, ain't it?)

When I'm old and tired
hope folks will overlook
glaring eccentricities and contradictions

In favor of effort to love.

I think it's good to have a quirky trait in each of us Nancy. It's part of our make up. Sometimes it can lead to love, as another may revel in ones quirkiness. Fine poetry I must say, have a lovely Sunday :)

Poetry brings out the withered sage, who mightn't pass for half his age, bloody thinks that he can rage, the Avatar of mindless:(
