One Potato
by Charles E Minshall"One potato, two potatoes,
Three potatoes, four."
A thing I remember
From a long time before.
A time in life when
Simple things were fun,
When I had enough breath
To run and run.
It would be nice to enjoy
life that much again,
But I couldn't do it
With the shape I'm In.
It's now "one potato, two potatoes
Three potatoes, four"
That's a lot of potatoes
To fatten me more. 10/09/2004 Posted on 10/10/2004
