Better Late Than Never
On March the 5th I wrote a poem –
The title was “Dear Jill,”
Which was a plea that maybe
The First Lady would help fill.
Of course, she never saw it
And my quest was not unique,
But had she followed common sense,
We’d not be up the creek.
The paddles now must be controlled
By a dynamic team
Which maybe, just 4

Better Late Than Never
Good morning Mr. Sunshine your journey's underway
Have you come across any pocket penguins on your rise today?
I'm looking for one specifically, on her I am sold
You would know her if you saw her, she's a beauty to behold
Well let me tell you some things more to help you to recall
First of all she sings like

Better Late Than Never
It was like reading a movie script, a familiar one though
I was playing the hero, with my alter ego playing the villain
They were up against each other, always in a conflict
While the hero was always about showering affection, pampering her people
The alter ego only kept herself devoid of all the love she gave others
The hero

Better Late Than Never
It has been months, I was lost in my thoughts
Forgot that there exists a page
where I need to upload my writings
All of those fine quotes, free verse
also, some incomplete poetries which I need to complete
It's already late but still
so here I am getting back to work with all my strength
To complete my

Better Late Than Never
Better late than never,
But never late is better;
Complete the endeavour,
Be punctual, go-getter;
We try to be clever,
Late, but do to the letter,
Remember however
To be on time, trend-setter.

Advice Better Late Than Never
Advice,
Better late than never
I was advised to ask the Doctor
For a home visit
And within just 5 minutes
My Mother was admitted to A&E
Because in all honesty i think
towards the end she was screwing
with me getting in my head
Playing game's putting me on a emotional guilt trip
But come this time i have to admit
I am not a

your money is not what I want
your gifts are not my
priority
your excuses are not
what I need
just gave me what don't
cos you but has value
And that is what ?
your high profile is not
my business
your excellence is not
my perfection so keep it

your skills is not my

The Better Late Than Never Free Admission Confessio
...exhortations against Ole Saint Nick
(alternately titled untold treasured shenanigans of Santa)
his elves and reindeer discovered only
by colluding via "FAKE" fluke
did I manage to worm winning the trust
among Christmas elves and reindeer
confident this generic guy,
would never breach scandalous
tidbits, into an underground impregnable
air-raid shelter, the Motley Crue
tied blindfold over my eyes, didst steer

Better Late Than Never
Sitting in the back car
of a fast moving train,
two strangers, their eyes slowly collide
Probing questions
over dinner by candlelight,
got so much in common they soon realize
Come late evening,
there’s dancing and laughter
Such a strong attraction they cannot hide
At the end of the journey,
they exchange digital promises
And so begins a December romantic sleigh ride
Better late than never, Chorus:
when two

Better Late Than Never
B-etter late than never,
R-egards don't come on time;
E-very well wish from friends
N-eeds the mountain to climb.
D-ay twelve in warm July, rhyme's arrival is delayed;
A-lthough the music sounds familiar, it's over and over played.
R-ight there in the home
O-f your facebook account;
L-ate greeter from far away
D-oes it with huge amount.
A-mount of pure delight

Better Late Than Never
I've been waiting for you,
for so long.
Never thought one day,
I'd belong.
To someone who cared,
for me.
Someone who'd always,
be there for me.
But,
Love comes to those who love,
and wait forever.
Don't give up hope, one day
you will be together.
When it comes to finding love...
better late than never.
So many years have passed, waiting,
for you to appear.
Almost given up hope,
being

Better Late Than Never
Did I get that much older
Or did he somehow get
younger
Maybe the answer is buried
somewhere in between.
Grandad to my children
Forevermore dad to me
I see him now in a way I had
never seen.
Has he become more tolerant
Or I much more sedate
We now listen to listen to what
the other has to say
I spent my youth
