Another Day

 

Another day, more or less.

What shall it be for me?

I’m not at war, couldn’t

care less about gains and

losses on Wall Street or

diabolical plans some

politician has up their

sleeve. I say let the

magician pull a rabbit

from his hat. (I've seen

that trick done

a thousand times before.)

Don’t argue with the police.

If you know what’s

good for you, mind your

own business and keep

your big trap shut.

Take a lesson from the

drill sergeant you had in

the Army more than fifty

years ago—fall out and

smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

The world will never rid

itself from wise guys and

smart asses.

These days in my old age

I’m limited to certain things

I can and cannot do.

As Roger Miller said in

his 1960s hit song...”I’m a

man of means by no means,

King of the Road.” It took

me a lifetime to realize what

he was singing about.

Another day for me, one

more or less. Smokin’

‘em cuz I got ‘em. Doin’

and not doin’ as I’m able

and as I damn well please.
