Swim Or Sink While I Live and Think
7/27/16
Found some inner peace
But the outcome was rather bitter sweet
Out in the woods where the timber creaks
And many critters sleep
Nearby a place where several rivers meet
Realize not all have a bite of dinner to eat
And that sometimes a winner cheats
The news was delivered by speech
And was considered bleak
Inside of clean and littered streets
Here no swiffer sweeps
While close and far from Winter's reach
I'll ask you now, what spoils does the victor reap?
A forgotten bottle of liquor leaks
And in the floor it was quick to seep
During Halloween trick or treat
I'll either swim or sink
While I live and think
