There aren't many that I give a damn about, <br /> I can count them on my fingers, <br /> and I know that those that care for me, <br /> don't even leave the left hand. <br /> <br /> I'm not talking about superficial friends, <br /> I mean the REAL ones, <br /> - - - such is life ! <br /> <br /> I'd be surprised if a tear were shed for me, <br /> when they turn me into fertilizer, <br /> I'll do my best to push those daisies up, <br /> but, my money's going with me - - - <br /> not worth the effort though, <br /> to dig up this old miser. <br /> <br /> Truth be told, the overwhelming feeling, <br /> will most likely be ... <br /> ' Oh! , Well! ' ... <br /> ' What's for dinner? ' <br /> <br /> I know that everybody's focus, <br /> is firmly on themselves, and family, <br /> if you think any differently, <br /> your worse off than I will be! <br /> <br /> Trust me when I say, <br /> that the other 5,999,999,999, <br /> just want a decent meal ! <br /> <br /> But, if you need to act nice, <br /> put on a decent party, <br /> and toast me once or twice!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-place/
