Premium Member The Old Ball Game

He throws the ball underhand
The grey muzzled dog slowly searches
They return to an old park bench
To sit with pigeons on their perches

This word has so many prejoratives in the
English Gypsy vocabulary..Here are some
Mark..Them well.' Cagey and darkly so, sly, underhand, nasty, untrustworthy, mockimg, grudging and it
Fits a certain politican exactly.' he seems
Typecast here.'

I don't want to be here

I don't want to be here
I just want to sleep
To let the wind blow over me
To never have to think

I don't want to be here
People just don't understand
They think that I am spiteful
Or do things underhand

I don't want to be here
Just slowly slip away
To give the world a rest from me
And live another day

Listen to poem:
life, you’ve dealt me blows
left and right
some underhand and outright dirty
come on - don’t pretend it isn’t so

while it’s true 
what doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger
it never seems so 
at the time

but through the years
the many nagging losses
sure do prepare you
for the big ones

whipped into submission
convinced that’s all there is
yes maybe so –

but you can’t take away
from me
my memories 
of glory days
between the losses
