An autobio synopsis

Although I may not be much...
I am all that I've got.
So...
every day in every way
I try to render my optimal effort
to make my life a little better lot.
But...
with age and its associated ailments...
'taint always that easy.
Overall in retrospect, however,
life has not been too shabby.
I...
proudly served in the army...
earned a college degree...
married a wonderful woman...
was fortunate to be able
to adopt two beautiful children...
worked my way up from announcer
to VP/Gen.Mgt of a radio station...
owned and operated a couple of businesses,
none of which were very successful...
survived widowhood...
crafted a whole new life
after losing my wife...
wrote and published four books.
In sum...
it has been fun...
in my time under the sun.
Yet...
there is still work to be done.
Up to this point I have not done much to change the world.
I shall get to that in a minute.
Right now I have all I can handle
to keep my own life in order.

Looks like a rather interesting and fulfilling life to me, even though it may be hard right now to keep it all from becoming dis-oeder. Much better than one of odor. ;-)

Since you have a collage degree, you could become an artist like my good friend Grant Manier and change the world like he has with his collages. ;-)

Every line is a keeper . . . Eh . . . Guess that is why you put them in this poem.
