STARTLED ANTIQUITY

Folder: 
JOURNAL#8

I have always been myself for as long as I can remember

and now to this club of 'Startled Antiquity' I have been

made a life long member

I did to my recent knowledge no apparent good deed so

deserving of such a said reward

I've lived my life and dreamed my little dreams and as always

they've always been in natural accord

and apparently someone patted me on the back for doing

such a bang up good job

now, I'm breezing by bodies of the rich like I was born

to hob knob

so what comes next for this vessel of boon

do I make up a little speech to say at this evening's

party before I take my stately bow

or do I fall into a heap at their feet and swoon

what would Cary Grant have done in his day if at his

feet in a puddle I fell

say, Will you marry me my darling girl? or simply

Go to hell!

Do you seriously think I don't know the answer to that one

of course I do but its not polite to kiss and tell

so, I'll pen this poorly patterned piece finished

and done

so to say in a better word I'm through

God, I LOVE YOU CARY and I still say you're pretty

damn gorgeous for an old dead guy!!!!!!!!.....
