Another irritating poem.

9 Replies

I used to think I'd change the world.

Then I was hit by truth.

Every youngster thinks like that.

Tis the arrogance of youth.

When I look back upon by life

Now that I'm 85

I've done well with all my ailments

To still be here alive.

When you value all you have

Put your health right at the head

Cos all the other stuff you've got

Is useless when you're dead. ;-)

STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN Don! Please, seriously. Behave!! ;)

in reply toO2Trees

Well, as you know there are some very ill people who visit here and whilst I am well aware that some find my postings amusing, uplifting, etc (because you are kind enough to tell me so), others must find them irritating. But you are right. Putting myself down doesn't help anyway.

I shall wear my badge with pride... The Bard of BLF. :-)

Hurray. And remember that while you are right that we can't please all of the people all of the time, members can choose to pass by without opening your post. Ok Bard? :)
