Birth To Sonnets
at birth was diamond in mom and dad’s eyes
fourth grade through sixth grade I was a joker
it’s true in this life I have had some sighs
my time in the navy heavy smoker
all the women in my life should be queens
I know perfection can never be found
never shared my heart in my teens
after thirty years I made a rebound
my wife would sometimes call me an old maid
because of my slow off-balance movements
never saw action so I’m underpaid
today my life has many improvements
I love writing sonnets I’m no Shakespeare
in a way it makes my life pretty clear
