Observations from a Life Class
Some of us are frustrated
And others exhilarated
Some of us hardly get off the ground
Others just go round and round
Some strive to win
And others just give in
Some scrape, curse and smudge
Others barely budge
Some are very slow
Others just go with the flow
Some are frantic, agitated and impatient
Others are like the living dead
Each mark approached with dread
Some squint and peer
Others lunge as though it were beer
Some prefer it upside down
Others use a mirror and a frown
Some finish early with a sigh
Others finish late on a high
Good Night, Bye Bye,
Au revoir, Farewell,
Drive safe, cheer up,
For next week
We’ll do it all again.
