The Poem of My Father’s Youth

I woke up early this morning,
And glanced up at the wall,
Where the roaches and the bedbugs
Were playing a game of ball.

The score was six to nothing,
The roaches was ahead,
I got so doggone excited
I jumped clean out of bed.

I hurried downstairs for breakfast,
But the coffee there was so stale,
It tasted just like tobacco juice
Served fresh right out of the county jail.

And though the years have drifted by,
And time has had its say,
That little rhyme my father learned
Has never gone away.

    It was very nice of you to like my post, ” Isaiah Chapters 31-32;” thank you very much.

      I’ve never shared this detail with the group before, but I’m an ordained minister here in the United States. That’s why I appreciate your posts so much. I approach scripture as a guide for living a better life—teaching kindness, compassion, and preparation for life’s end—while helping others do the same.
