My life, my night, is like a twilight. Stars in the sky, what a sight.
Laughter from all around, enjoying such a lovely night.
The sweetness of the candy and caramel apples as I bite.
I'm on a rollercoaster so high with screams in the air.
I enjoy the fun games of excitement as I walk around everywhere.
Smiles on kids' faces as they run around and everywhere.
I will never forget the carnival life as it was when I was young.
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Summer outgoing : Next to greet Fall :
Rainy environ embowers.
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Moistened now, fields, plants and flowers.
Dull cloudy weather over all.
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Summer outgoing : Next to greet Fall.
Dig, dig, dig,
What a catchy phrase,
It is a phase,
When I gave time to pace,
I untie my lace,
Set time to race,
I cut to the chase,
To let my body move,
The sand I shove,
Grain by grain of quartz,
As if I'm wearing a Swatch,
I dampen my body,
With out of reach,
I am not a preacher,
But I know I'm on siege,
I'm not underage,
I turn money into sage,
I take my pledge,
I make it to the center stage,
But wait, I'm in a cage,
I need to go to college,
To turn a dime from a seawage.
Imagine this,
I put up like this,
There is no end to it,
The night came in,
The creeps give the chills,
I wonder how to feel,
It is the sequel,
The storyline is captivating,
Very eye-catching,
The movie Serpent is in search,
For a more dramatic and chaotic impact,
In this hour of darkness,
I can still feel the sensational,
Of going on an adventurous journey,
Is this a survey,
Or a rental one,
I could be someone,
Looking through and through,
I spotted a feline,
Of a different kind,
I don't mind,
Give me the sign,
The next blockbuster in line.
I am funny,
hidden under veils of shyness.
Many think I'm social and outgoing,
But I'm an introvert.
I can be alone in a room for many days,
without getting bored or tired of being alone.
Just give me what to eat and drink.
More importantly make the place comfortable.
As I'm older,
I realise I need to mix.
So, I form new friendships and socialize.
I can't be an island,
when my ambition is to compete at the top.
No one gets to the peak without needing others.
Hence, I court goodwill at all cost.
without which I know I can't ever smell greatness
Fired shots that smelt not their target,
Gold digger far away from nugget;
Plight of the masses fought the wrong way:
Not one of them did meet a bright day...
Your pictures in offices fidget,
The days left I count with each digit.
You have the ship steered; You've had your say
But the whole thing looks perfect child's play.
What more would one want to analyze?
It might even lips paralyze.
Not a single thing will normalize:
"More Hardship!" If I should summarize.
A wonder you did that legislate:
What won't my punishment mitigate;
We all saw what figures indicate
Which dull child can't the problems locate?
Outgoing president: A Disaster:
Eight years back dying to be Master...
To The Now-Pitied President
No longer thought God-Sent
The making of superb contacts
For entry into cleaner contracts
Is a command to avoid patched-up pacts
And-trust-me – costs you True Logisticians
Besides Sincere Magicians;
If the packages are not to hit the rocks
Or more keys appear with stubborn locks;
“If truly thou seekest a final Turn Around
That shouldest not later sink underground…”
For stiff orders you might bark
And mighty millions earmark
But Glorified Brains the cracked
And Misjudging Misfits the backed,
Progress, sure, shall slack
And one begins to Loyalists sack
The Guys one once shook their hands drop
And their disarming salaries stop…
Now, you are rather The Outgoing
And faster thoughts won’t be flowing,
For so it goes with injury time
While Careless Clock continues to chime
But there really was an F. Kennedy,
After 100 Days, ready remedy…
So, while this Counseling Milk you suck,
I wish you A Suckling's Good Luck.
The Out-Going Treasurer had me briefed
But through the released records I still leafed,
Just in case a thing was tightly overlooked
And I some tomorrow hatefully booked
Over some books I had barefacedly cooked
And some missing one million or thereabouts
I should kindly explain its whereabouts…
The one hitting about The Handed Over
And one lousily taking them over:
Before a week’s swiveling of the chair, A Police Land Rover,
If one had happened to be lucky with Army Range Rover;
For unsmiling cops that shall in your office hover…
Always, while taking over from A Treasurer,
Try to be about one or two things surer.
My one word to describe myself is Outgoing
I am very funny, smart, nice and outspoken
My siblings names are Champion, Cataleya and Vallaree
I love Michael Jackson, Food and Friends
Sometimes my feelings are Sad, Hurt and Happy
I am very scared of Spiders, Death and CLOWNS
My favorite rappers or singers are Ynw Melly, Cardi B and Ozuna
I am a resident of Hemet
I am very Fashionable
Never was good at showing emotion
Before meeting my sweetie pie
She helped me outta this funk I was in
Now a happy outgoing guy!
Enjoying life to the absolute fullest
Excitement fills my every day
The richest man on the face of the earth
There's nothing more I can say
Really been blessed throughout my life
Why am I the fortunate one
Others suffer through sadness and pain
While mine's just laughter and fun
Maybe it's the genes bequeathed to us
The luck of the draw that decides
Will we be wearing a perpetual smile
Or will sadness fill up our eyes
Whatever the answer, I thank my stars
Couldn't have asked for anything more
Blessed is a word that is so often used
In my case, it's true to the core
