The chronic state of uncertainty
Confusion and madness
Making mistakes inadvertantly
Lonliness leads to feeling stuck
Could use a bit of luck
When everything goes wrong
Hard to remain calm
Just want to sing a song
The same thing over and over
Driven to madness
Nothing left but sadness
No security, no peace
What can one hope for
Afraid of disease
Hungry for purpose
Financial constraints
Smiling on the surface
I have needs to be met
A long and difficult road
If nothing transpires, I'll get upset
No princes in sight, only a toad
Lonliness sets in
Frustration, here we come
Can make your head spin
Someone asks where are you from?
Alone I swear
What to do
It's just not fair
Headed from Sacramento to Chicago,
I inadvertantly left a knife
in my on-board brifecase.
Airport security found the knife,
and I was completely surprised.
No, I was not detained.
Yes, they kept the knife.
In this fearful terrorizing age,
surely, I would be arrested.
It happened prior to 2001.

A buddy, I inadvertantly estranged,
Is back in my world....
And it is a joy for me...
Long have I regreted perhaps
Having said the wrong thing..
As a fool, such as I, am apt to do...
Ensconced in bursts of stupidity,
I always amaze myself
With the stupid words I sometimes
tend to generate...
Someday, I will learn my lesson....
I think I am half way there...
God Bless Soup and all it's ingredients,
And Happy Holidays!!!
