Vests


In life you intend to do your best

But frequently your unable to guess

why you havent been going far

so you throw in the towel and resort to the bar

But drinking wont help you in your quest

So stop your whinning and put on your vest

thats decorated in sequins and outshines the rest

so that you can ace your lifelong test

of making it big in this world I address

in this poem that probably wont stand the test,

Of time because I somewhat lack rhymes

but hey at least i gave it my best

Maybe some kind old soul will lend me THEIR vest

so that I too can shine like the best

of the best and make a dent in this world that I sing

Because truly the smallest ones can amount to great things
