In pursuit of being Number 1
I sit here alone tonight
A beer and this computer
Is my only worksite
I write things that tell alot of things
And sometimes dont mean anything
I get what everybody is saying
Some poems are wise some
Well they just fall like the skies
I guess I am lost for words rights now
God I dont Know how
I can ramble on and on about many things
Even about my flings
But I am done for tonight
I did give up a
Hell of a fight
To make my poetry right
For you to hear me
And I hope I speak to you
As much as you speak to me
I know I can leave everybody pleased
You may not like me
Or they way I write
But this is my appetite
All I have to say is
Goodnight
