Stumbling along the sidewalk

Day: June 19, 2011

Something Better

Opportunity knocks,

And I turn my back.

 

Not into playing

Any high-strung games.

 

Not into risking

My meager employment.

 

Not into hob-knobbing

With those that want to show-off.

 

So when opportunity comes

My humble way,

 

I say no, thank you,

Perhaps another day.
