Life's a challenge at the best of times
Winning 9 out of 10 is a damn good sign
Life can be hard
Keep up your guard

A snake in the grass is a nasty old soul
Their modus operandi means a meal is their goal
Not all snakes
A meal to make
But nine out of ten will swallow your ass whole...

Try to be most perfect every single day
Sometimes slip and must keep the nasties at bay
But nine out of ten
I rebound and then
Back to Mr.Wonderful, and the sex games we play...

One,
Two, or
Even three,
Or only four,
Maybe five for me,
Maybe six or seven,
Give me eight, nine; why not ten?
Many children are a blessing,
Great responsibility, and yet,
With my quiver full, I'm happy and rich....

don't listen to the voices 
nine out of ten times 
they tell the truth
foretelling the future 

in a dream they say
it's gods prophecy
a possible tomorrow 
reveling the snake

the black night is turned
his rage doomed him
in the battle ageist the king
with a rainbow crown 

i ask why dose the snake 
look to me for approval 
an uncountable amount 
or good deeds without 

one selfless act...

Can not say how it happened,
No clue as to when
But one day I just noticed
Your nine is my ten.

I’ve no need for a road map,
My happiness lies
In the sweet contemplation
Of light in your eyes.

It is such an old lesson,
When sad life you find,
Make it better and see how
Clouds lift from your mind.

So love thank you for sharing,
For letting me in,
My dream now you can live with
Near permanent grin.
