"Though life may knock this Lucky Little Bastard down / My face was simply not created for a frown // I am going to get all I can"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1282:

I Yam What I Yam

 

and here I come

 

No point in explaining

I yam what I yam as Popeye used to say

No good in complaining

It never helps in any case

I have nothing to complain about today

 

The sunshine today is utterly brilliant

Lighting my eyes warming my face

My trees are blooming and I feel resilient

Though life may knock this Lucky Little Bastard down

My face was simply not created for a frown

 

I am going to get all I can

While I can get it

Better to die as a happy man

Than to regret it
