Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

I coulda been a rock star but I never had the voice
I coulda been a monarch but I never had the choice
I coulda been a cowboy but I never had a Stetson
I coulda been a jockey but I’m too tall to put bets on

Glad you're not any of these things. You are fine as you are!
Very clever poem.
No time to write one myself! Babysitting!

I coulda been a lawyer, but never had the briefs

Coulda been an indian, there were way too many chiefs

Coulda been a mechanic, but did not have a wrench

Could collect the garbage, but cannot take the stench

I used to be a rock star but the groupies weren't my type,

I used to be a monarch but it wasn't worth the hype,

I used to be a jockey til the horse threw me in a fountain.

But I'll always be a cowboy, just like in brokeback mountain...;-)

David: Very nicely done.
I coulda been a sheep farmer,
but I din't have a ram.
I coulda been a blogger,
but I didn't have, wait I am.

I'm new to your blog, but I must say, the poems are bringing me back!

Glad to have found you through ABC.

You are a photographer,
You take a pretty picture.
You are a biographer,
You also tell-a-picture.
You are a spouse and father,
A regular family man,
You are a prolific blogger,
Your name is David McMahon.

Too tall to put bets on? That's too cute! :)
