Let me let me count the hidden ways on the way to the racetrack... <br />Let me see? Where is that licquor store? <br /> <br />I don't care if my wife constantly snores.. <br />She'll always have her honey dew list filled to the brim with many more chores. <br /> <br />I used to play 'Scrabble' or 'Upwords' games of words... <br />I was never interested in as a hobby of looking at birds. <br /> <br />I used to collect postage stamps and American coins... <br />Since i've grown up and got married-I've had happier loins. <br /> <br />Ha! Ha! Ha! As a poet one must have a sense of humor... <br />Now my vice is rarely drinking and constantly having the use of the tabbacco'd paper stick'ed fumar. <br /> <br />If i die one day soon from lung cancer... <br />Then for the tomorrow i'll never have the chance to take lessons to become a professional dancer. <br /> <br />One thing in life that i could not master... <br />Was the playing of musical instruments or in art of the moulding of Paris De' Plaster. <br /> <br />I used to go bowling and fishing. <br />I used to draw and paint but now i'm only into the art of publishing and it's printing. <br /> <br />A beer or wine on and again is A-All right.... <br />Not too often-Booze can always cause a mighty violent fight. <br /> <br />Alcohol i do not consume that much... <br />That's one vice that i hardly ever touch. <br /> <br />Church and the reading of the bible is more my cup of tea... <br />And the consumption of Murder Mysteries into my brain is usually just for thee. <br /> <br />Writing of poetry is my new hobby of choice... <br />I sure don't sing because i have a terrible voice. <br /> <br />The reading of poetry is relaxing and nice.... <br />That's my new life's most healthy like vice. <br /> <br />If you don't like my rhyming lines... <br />You can go to jail and pay off all of your criminalistic high fines.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vices-that-piss-off-even-uppitty-bible-thumpers/
