Best Draw The Line At Poems

With the onset of years
erstwhile crazy ideas
abandoned with caution and dread
now crowd my mind
no peace I will find
till my conscience lies neatly in shreds

Conscience, out the way
there's hell to pay
for too long I've toed the line
Ms Goody Two-Shoes
who never once boozed
longs to taste the fruit...

Water, water everywhere
running down the walls
and dripping through the ceiling
like the darned Niagara Falls.
The carpet is all sodden
but really, if you please,

Pencil gray, color blind and crayons ready
Fantasies replace triangles, circles and square deals

And guzzled beer out of a can,
When I dripped gravy on my tie, I licked it up.
But though my manners were appalling,
One habit I would never fall in,
I never sank to drinking coffee from a Styrofoam cup.

Magic's wearing off,
And my beauty fades,

Don't mind losing the cloths,
Don't even mind losing the shoe,
But draw the line at the make up,

Don't want anyone to see me,

I had a poignant dream last night,
Dreamt that top sales people were taking Flight,
No longer able to look in a mirror without getting a fright.

A line in the sand they were not prepared to cross,
Despite the financial loss.

Even for them some things to sell they...
