Poetry On Life

We’re Only As Good As Our Last Round


Listen Later

We’re only as good as our last round

However vague this may, honestly, sound,

Like the speck that started as a speck

Only, to then become a dusty mound

And, What lies now at the bottom of that heap

The laurels, the accolades, that we all keep

Shelved, to harp on as time goes by

To lull ourselves to errant sleep.

 

Whether we’re Golfers

Squabbling with Wives,

Lonely Swimmers

With “change my mind”

Dives

Or, ordinary guys

Living our lives,

‘Tis always the same

And, eternally true,

Never mind whether

We’re twenty or seventy

two.

 

We’re, only as good as the

last act

The last word and that’s a

fact,

Best, therefore, to make

with ourselves

A never-to-be- forgotten,

lifelong-pact

To,

 

Bask in the glory of old

times

The winning ways and those

lovely rhymes,

But, do so only when with

ourselves

Then, get lost in that

reverie but, only sometimes.
