The Long Road

Has been shortened.

I've been doing quiet a bit of traveling and unraveling.
The long hard road has been kind of enslaving.
But I 've given a real hard try at behaving,
as opposed to misbehaving.
I've always road with the law,
and took my punches right on the jaw,
even though I had no pa.


I've done quite a bit of soul searching,
and heart researching.


Finally after the many years have passed,
the long road has shortened at last.


We all have a method of operating,
and negotiating,
and relating,
to our fellow man.


Well, my M.O. gets its final stamp,
so I end my life long revamp.


I close my book,
then retreat to my nook.
Try to enjoy,
and find a new toy.


A serious game,
now more tame.


G
