Practicing Progress

True flags wave goodbye

ARound the trenches

Dug within the earth of me

Trying to practice just too hard

Practice makes sweat

Practice makes pain

Drip from your hair

Practice is only perfect

When I am pushing up daisies

But a road to perfection

Is but life's pull-up handle bars

At which I dangle from

A weak rope

A pale flag tires down the fight

To let all the apples rot

In the lawn

And just wait for the lawnmower

To take it all away

And chop up their smooth faces

As I lean on the crutch

To lend a perfect hand

That's practiced through progress

It's a simple process

Practice is a perfect way

To make life progress

Practice isn't perfect

But it's the next best thing
