I Carouse Time Honoured Humility
Walk through life with mirth
Laughing, loving, liberating friends and foes
Daring to enliven them as from my favourite firth
I breaststroke ashore and send a rose
To signify my noble intention
Meant to fulfill a wish
I made to my avatar to diminish tension
Within my conscience and denude my desire dish
Of detours from contours from the path of bliss
My associates and acquaintances so much deserve
In a life so unpredictable they and I sometimes miss
The turn and urn that burn the best wishes they and I reserve
For last if we intend to revive hope
To revitalize and sanitize thoughts we aggrandize
As we slide and glide on the slope
Where without any intention to peddle unhappiness merchandise
Associates push me forward to the brink
Where all at once my eyes pop open
To reveal a peal of laughter that doesn’t shrink
From paving the way on the right day for my pen
To dribble prevarication and scribble
A note to my heart, to my brain
Ensuring I no longer nibble
At my bliss to decrease the strain in the main
That wriggles and sniggles if I should make a wrong move
To decrease chances lances of sorrow won’t tomorrow
Fly back and forth to prove in a groove
If I’m man enough to borrow in a row
An idea from altruism to confer on a broken heart
Hope for bliss, hope for hope as I grope
For a chance and circumstance to play a pivotal part
To improve the scope without horoscope
That predicts history will judge me harshly
If I should shrink from the responsibility
To pour love despite the pain I dismiss brashly
To browse and carouse a dose of time honoured humility.
