You may have read

what I wrote

about my father

about my mother

about my brothers

Mark and Dave

(I had no sisters or

I would have written

about them as well)

but you may have read

what I had written

about my Uncle Ray

and my Aunt Molly

what I wrote about

my childhood

Roy Rogers

Howdy Doody

and Captain Kangaroo

about my adulthood

about substance abuse

and eventual recovery

about my friends

Larry and Ronnie

about my likes

and dislikes

about the ups

and downs

in my life

You may recall

what I wrote

about the Cosmos

and God

about my dogs

about old age

and confusion

on the Interstate

about wives

and other sordid

relationships

about wisdom teeth

and the

unvarnished truth

about theory

and speculation

about Trump

and the pathetic

state of the nation

about odds and ends

this that and what not

Well I have this

to add to all

the enlightenment

the accounting

and reckoning

I have presented

and proposed

Yes it all happened

to me

even the

stuff I made up

Believe you me
