I have traveled, long hard roads
Sailed atop, those stormy seas
Climbed the highest mountain tops
And dwelled among, the forest trees
I have felt the pangs of love
And the angst of death’s release
Served the carnage, of world war
Then rejoiced, when there came peace
I have studied, life’s conundrum
And as proof, have many P.H.D.’s
Yet, after all I’ve seen and learned
I still…………… can’t find my keys
