Resolutely Unresolved

On my honor I will do my best To be real quiet, and not a pest I’ll smear some butter on a crispy roll And let you dip it in my soup bowl. I won’t dress up seeking flattery Unless I win the freakin’ lottery Then I’ll spread the cash tween kith and kin In the hope they won’t “remember when”. But then again, on a positive note I might just take the money and buy a boat Pack my bags and head out to sea With a captain and first mate who’ll both be me. However, if I do not win I’ll cut the cheese razor thin Season it with butter and thyme Wash it down with the same old whine. Set the clock for five AM Struggle through my morning swim And knowing that my chance is thin Play the same number again. John G. Lawless ©12/13/2022
