Jim Slaughter Poet Triolet

The Best Life

The best life is a simple life,
Poets and pundits all agree.
What value strain, what profit strife?
The best life is a simple life.
So follow drum, and heed the fife,
The world a better place will be.
The best life is a simple life,
Poets and pundits all agree.

Entered (?) in Kim Merryman's Try A Triolet contest
