Thought’s Aroused

Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.
I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;
My unspoiled moments,
The fourth dimension, has purloined,
Leaving me to mark time
With no pronounced purpose;

Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.
I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;
My unspoiled moments,
The fourth dimension has purloined,
Leaving me to mark time
With no pronounced purpose.

Pugnacious Pete was his Pseudonym
Pete Plied Pugilism in the gym
Though Pete Prayed to Phix his Plight
Poor Pete seldom won a Phight
Pete's Phighting career was looking grim!
