Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

Take Aways

You can take away my job
Another line of work I will find
You can take away my hair
Going bald I really don’t mind
You can take away my friends
I am comfortable all alone
You can take away my gadgets
I have no use for a cell phone

You can take away my memories
My past is best forgot
You can take away my possessions
I really don’t have a lot
You can take away my money
I will live a beggar’s life
I could get used to no more nagging, so
You can take away my wife

You can take away my sight
For I can still see without my eyes
You can take away my wardrobe
I like being naked, no surprise
You can take away my house
With a shopping cart I will roam
But you cannot take away my words
I’ve secured them in my poems
