Senior Lament

The greatest thing I’ll ever do
I probably did but forgot.

The best woman I’ll ever get
I probably already got.

The most money I’ll ever make
I probably made and spent

and the god I seek I already found,
long ago was sent.

All that remains is repetition.

    I love how much this poem does in such a short space. Funny and sad at the same time, good job.

    Interesting piece, although I do hope there is more to life than that.

    Thanks for sharing :-)
