Life is pretty much
Trial and error,
Or you could say
Try and error,
It’s when you
Stop trying
That you end up
In the lukewarm pool
With all of the others
Waiting for someone else
To get things going,
Get something happening.

There comes a time
When you realize
That you are guilty
Of giving people more
Credit for intelligence, common
Sense and general ethics
Than they deserve,
You’ll recognize
The time
As you listen to
Hollow apologies
And smell the bullshit theory
Of do whatever and ask for forgiveness
Later.

Aging
Has its treasures,
But they come
With a heavy cost,
That we never
Get to realize,
Until youth and years
Are lost.

The man
Of the sea,
Swallowed
The sea,
The woman
Of the forest,
Swallowed
The trees,
And that’s how
The legend
Of heaven and hell
Started.

On Monday
With multi-million
Dollar deals dropping
All around,
Oh yes, the Chinese
Have arrived,
They’ve done Vancouver
And the major centers,
Now it’s The Island,
On Monday
Stretching to squeeze
A multi-thousand
Dollar deal together,
One puts things
In perspective,
It’s simply a matter
Of zeroes
And the Dollarama line-up
Generates multi-faceted
Smiles and grins.

If I were you
And you were me
We still would be
Like jam and tea,
Cause that’s the way
We’ve always been,
No matter how
We spin and spin,
Our love never
Goes away.

Mean spirited guys
With fat ugly wives
And lives as miserable
As their thinking,
Dumped a boat
And garbage
On the LRT Road,
Who knows the whys
Of these low I.Q guys
Or the Cal Glass lies
They are linking.
