Hey Ho Here We Go

There is no-one to whom I owe

my laughter and good cheer.

Disagree? Well, you don't know,

mate, 'cause you are not here

to see the epic sufferings,

melodramatic pain

that this kind of cancer brings

when you're circling the drain.

Except maybe I got this wrong,

and made it all 'bout me,

when in truth I just belong

to larger community

that I see, in yonder looking-glass,

has strong call upon my...uh, donkey.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is STORY.

It is the story of my life,

I just cannot get a break

(eye-roll by The Barb, my wife),

but surely God's made some mistake

that looking like Asian Brad Pitt,

and with the grace of Jackie Chan,

I just cannot seem to fit

into Hollywood's big master plan,

that I could become rich like Croesus,

living in Aspen, or Bel Aire,

with entire island-leases

to take perhaps a Christmas there

with daiquiri in my hand

enjoying sun and surf and sand.

That was quick. Under three and a half minutes.

Winnie's video left Sylvia exhausted and hungry. Ice cream time!
