Rat Race

7/11/21 Never been the smoothest talker Got to make the best of it before I need a walker Had a lot or nothing to offer Wasn't always worth the bother 4 days a week I work with and help doctors Occasionally seeing Boxers She got some knockers Too many peeps are squawkers I'm flying sky high inside a saucer Above waters With otters Never been an imposter Thought I had a chance and how quick I lost her It's all been testing my dignity and honor Never been a prince, always been a pauper An endless battle to prosper In the end it was or wasn't a shocker The truth locked behind a locker Or bouncing around like a ball in soccer People being respectful or a stalker In a world full of good intentions and slaughter Some folks heroes and others monsters Objects of value and sentiment behind a glass case A giant rat race Traveling slow or at a fast pace Winding up in first or last place Oh in that case No wonder the sad face This all left a bad taste Good and bad days Glass crutches in the ashtrays While going in and out of a vast maze It's much more than kind of A big deal if you can't make your mind up Before time's up That's why the past and history is there to remind us Sit around or get out and try stuff That's for you to decide what Find out you might hate or like much
