Later a Poet Laureate

Later A Poet Laureate

One to me you were so sincere
Then one day when you did disappear
My heart was broken and I became sad
And now I knew I just had been had.

Over and over my mind was tormented
After I discovered it was demented
To God started praying while I kneeled
He said it was always best to play the field.

I really appreciated such a suggestion
After my sins were caught in a confession
And slowly together the puzzle was pieced
When I started listening to the Priest.

One thing at a time should attempt and take
And never again will my heart ever break;
From God to me another message was sent
Have you thought running for President.

Should I protest when I heard God's plea?
What in the world has come over me?
By everyone I would receive all the blame;
Bowed out and later Poet Laureate became.
