Life's an Adventure
by Marilyn Schnepp My first big adventure Was the flight to New York, When I dangled in a diaper From the beak of a stork. But now that I'm older I know it's not true, But I ditto'd the same line To my own children too. Although I was toothless Bald and quite nude, My parents adored me For a brief interlude. By a brief interlude I mean my childhood years Before I caused grief, Aggravation and tears. The next big adventure Was a thing called "school"; Where I exchanged my geekiness For something called cool. What might be called "cool" Might mean "fool" to another And I believe the latter Was the thoughts of my mother. When the learnin' was over I tried out my wings, And flew far from home To search out new things. My adventures led me From the Ritz to the slums; Rubbing elbows with the elite Down to begging for crumbs. So the word "Adventure" I avoid like the plague But should it be mentioned I just look dull and vague. Well, that's my Life Story Kind of a thumbnail sketch Of why I'm now known As a worthless wretch. But I'm not really worthless Just a little insane... To think MY Adventures Can out rival Mark Twain!
