Lamentations

Old and Sexy

Old and sexyAs a girl with mastoplexyShe pressed on down the road.‘Twas not a heavy loadBut she did goadHerself onward to carryWhat wasn’t hers and did tarryFor naught but soughtAlways to find a wayTo say to others “Good day.And His peace be with youAnd all yours forthwith.”But the day would soon come,As it does to […]

When We Build Our Lives

When we build our lives Around our frail selves They soon become a blight.
