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

  5. 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

  6. 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...;-)

  7. 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.

    You take a pretty picture.

    You also tell-a-picture.
    You are a spouse and father,
    A regular family man,
