PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't take as much advantage

of books as I should

but in my own defense

I must admit

its the mistakes of others

that tend to teach one so terribly

much

just ask Jerry Springer

he could siphon a lot

off his trailer trash crowd

look long enough at anyone

and you will see who from whom

is much too proud

pride takes little education

yet more personal bravery

than I myself possess

obviously

so I guess that's why

I am where I am

and Jerry is where he is

while confronting within myself

the P.T.B.

(Powers That Be)

I must openly confess

though often enough

I am rather discontent

still its not so bad

being me................
