Agility And Fragility Of Life Poem by John Sensele

Life limps fragile
Life slumps agile
Fit one moment, unfit in a comment
Mystery of life smacks of torment.

Chew cues and views of bliss
Rue not views and shoes of fleece
Life mocks human health
Life stalks human wealth.

Clink, drink happiness
Shrink rinks of unhappiness
Drape shreds of shame and claim
Scrape not reds and threads of a nimble name.

Drain doubts of bouts
Rain not gouts and shouts
Life butts and cuts corners
Life putts golf partners.

No caps on simple pleasures
Trap maps of dimple measures
Tomorrow sometimes smiles not in your cot
Sorrow sometimes sulks hot on the dot.

Morsels of fillet titillate taste buds on tongues
Morsels of essays ventilate bungs and gangs
The most of life minus strife do reap
Life leaves and weaves tomorrow may weep and creep.

A smile lights up the mace of your face
A mile fights the ace of your grace
For reasons your solid body hardly understands
Much agility and ability of life your brain misunderstands.
