If someone would have said,

Twenty years prior to open my head,

Read poetry, you will enjoy it,

I think I would have from them fled,

But now, I find myself with certain ones,

To have at times a tear to have shed…

All poets have their respective style’s,

Mine I hope every now & then does bring smiles,

I find myself making jokes over everyday trials,

Maybe not all of the time, but for the most part,

I write about myself, Rufuz & the distance in miles…
