Ups & Downs #2

Being down, is a good reason to get up and fly around. Anyone that can't get up, might find their whole life corrupt.

Opps,

got to make it over the humps,
before they drag me to the dumps.
Can't afford the bumps,
don't want to write a check for the slumps.
But the check is wrote,
so down the hill I float.


Falling, falling, falling,
I can hear the ups calling.
I'm a man that never stays down,
you'll catch me acting like a clown.
During a lot of joking and teasing,
I find playing around pleasing.


Hey,

that check will bounce like a ball,
before it reaches the bank,
there's no funds there at all.
I figure it's legal,
to fly like the eagle.
Eagles will fly,
not even caring why.
Maybe among all things,
it's their mighty wings.
They're constantly hunting food,
the same way I chase a happy mood.


Actually I should be a vulture,
since staying up is a part of my culture.
A dirty low down bird of prey,
don't give a crap about the decay.
Or much about what others have to say.
If it's down in the dumps,
it's got to be eaten anyway.
Right now I'm swooping down,
knowing I'll be back up flying around.

This is so cute. You have taken a sad situation and turn it into fun. We all have to look at the bright side of things.

An honest write, we've all been there at one time or another.

Love,

Sandie Angel :o)

i love the way you just tell it like it is--i have had the issues you write about but am too proud to write about them--it is comforting to know i am not alone!

very fluid, i like it. reminds me of me, with the fun loving and joking around (i guess too years of watching MASH does that.). Very well written, i enjoyed.

You always brighten my world with your impeccable rhyme scheme and gift of words. Very well penned yet again, Gem; bravo! Keep on truckin'; I have complete faith in you!

You have brightened my day. A vulture never sounded so exquisite and beautiful. I'll have to keep these ideas in mind on my next down ride because I like soaring rather than sore'ing.

God bless you. Kath
