So Easy

He said to me You know, you get to know people When you meet them on the street There are basically two types; Those who look like hell And then you find theyre really sweet And then there are those Who look so cool But they always break your heart He asked " Which one are you?" I said Im hoping I can change I tried to be first But I always came last I am trustworthy and dependable (Desperate and destructive) Welcome to my parlor Said the idle spiderman And somewhere inside of me I could hear satan laugh And I wondered what to write upon his epitaph

I am confused Jannie. Might just be that my mind slipped into a millennial crack and hasn't returned yet. I will read again until I understand.

This is great, Jannie - very creative and clever, entertaining while dark wit delivers a truthful way we oft feel. This is unique as you are unique and I suspect you were writing of yourself, at least in certain moods at certain times. I'm impressed with this. Miss ya (my fault) ... CayCay
