The Good Times

Frittering their lives away
  at work, at home, at play

When the good times finally died
  ~ they'd nothing left to say

Oh, those "wonder" years....it's amazing so many of us get there and start wondering....'WHAT IF'.....instead of shouting "WHAT A RIDE!"....LET'S GO AGAIN......

Ha!! Ha!! Sad isn't it when a person wastes their life. I know a few that have done that. I knew one man that said in his very old age, "All those wasted years". I appreciate your visit to my page. Sara

We only hope that we haven't wasted our lives... I know that in my case, I'm not sure... HNY, Sara!

Fine, fine verse, my friend. Lots of folks spend lots of time "frittering." Now...uh, what exactly is "frittering?"
