Life from a deadheads point of view,

Some say life really sucks,
Living poor & without bucks,
But what the hell,
Just smile as you pass through,
In the very end it is good for you...


Poem Artwork

Life is generally a game,

No fun can come of it unless it’s played,

We have to enjoy it or die trying,

All over the world it’s the same…

 

Some people enjoy talking of politics,

Others deal through life with the crucifix,

I find humor in life brings on the best tricks,

But as with politics I say just give it the deep six…

 

Sometimes for sure I tire of playing the game,

Find it just gets quite altogether lame,

But if I follow what I do claim,

All in all I don’t have to accept any of the blame.

I've quit playing any games. Not political or social ones. Let the younger generation worry about political correctness and the neighbors next door. I just want to write.

You're right. Deadheads do very little to contribute to society. So if they didn't do anything to society, they can't be blamed when it goes wrong. Great logic for the do-nothing masses playing the game.

Go ahead and blame me, I've got broad shoulders, and life would be tragic if it weren't so funny. As for politics, we've got trump, and he's blameless and shameless. What more can ya ask for.

Politics / crucifix, now there's an interesting rhyme that I never thought of. Well done. Ditto Jerry by the way.

The U.S. politics gives me headaches, and so is the Canadian politics. I'm standing aside for now. Those Conservative people in Canada keep giving my phone numbers out to every Tom, Dick, and Henry. I've got calls even from China. I have no idea how I've got so many spam calls it's like being harassed for donation. I'm so done with all the political leaders. They've got more money and me, they should pay me for supporting them. Not the other way around.

I'm blameless! And that's a natural fact, Ed. I've grown out of the stage of blaming me for every little thing. I'll say it again. I'm Blameless! And that's a natural fact, Ed.
