Life Swings

Nuel Caeser


Distance between his life's

Pinnacle and valley

he can tell very surely and well.

Walking endless miles in strife's

rough all-fired alley

he'll prevail, only to end up in hell

Not the lone piescean alive

but his is too stormy an ocean of strife.

He should have had hopes

if his life had no ropes

For quite like play things,

so his life swings.

It swings to the very right side

and looks like a jolly ride

But swings to the dreaded down

then up again and round.
