DECEMBER CONTEST WINNER

Please join me in congratulating Geezer for winning the December contest. Below is his poem:

What A Trip!... [December Contest]

I was jack of all trades, master of few
but I worked real hard most times
I've had three wives, three boys too
Had some accidents, that rang my chimes

My body's wrecked from habits now
I loved cigarettes and weed
I've survived, I don't know how
Always running at full speed

Loved driving fast, on my scoot
Done lots of crazy things
I like reading books, things that shoot
But poetry gives me wings

I'm on the net, friends world-wide
from Australia to Great Britain
I know a queen from Norway
I travel while I'm sitting

My desk is now a ship
A computer is my plane
I see the world different now
And I'm not quite so insane

I have a wife that loves me
I have friends that I can call
I can [if I walk real slow]
Get around the mall

So, don't cry for me, when I'm done
When I've gone to my final rest
I've cried enough for myself
Just say; he's off on another quest

Comments

I should have put wheels on my Zimmer frame and beat you.
Well done young man I just couldn't catch you.
So I am off to the Caribbean as second prize.
Oh well we can't all be winners lol
Have a great new year,
Love to all, Yours as always,
Ian
