The Bottom Line Oh my I am dizzy , my knuckles will pop! What should be "the bottom" shows at the top!

You know, there really have been some idiots who have changed my life. Perhaps I am a bigger idiot, for letting them. If I were to be really serious about finding one or two, I would never be able to stop there.
The Idiots I resent the most are the ones who inspire revenge, anger and pay backs. Because these idiots have changed ME, and they have won. So let’s take a break from being entirely serious ...and deal with some partially humorous partially true partially rhyming verses to sum up three of them


A Tale of Three Idiots (Four if you count me)

Now gather round people and I’ll tell you a tale
of some really big idiots, all of them male
One for each segment of the life I am living
Whose acts of sheer meanness, just keep on giving.

THE FIRST IDIOT

First there’s the guy who lived ‘cross the street
A slimy old numb-nuts my Dad would call Pete.
He shouted and cursed if we ever would play
On the street near his house in the course of a day.

He called me names I should never have heard
So Dad went on over to have him “a word”.
I stood by Dad’s side as he reasoned with him,
and discussed his big problems with me and with Jim.

Pete kept on ranting, and swinging some tool
A wrench I think now, he was fixing a pool.
It happened to contact my head in its’ travel
Knocked me clear out, caused my mind to unravel!

Dad said Pete was sorry, he didn’t mean to hurt
But I saw his snide smirk as I fell to the earth.
I wasn’t sorry when his house , it burned down.
The police were told I was out of town.

(Parts of this story has been changed to....well let’s just say they’ve been changed. Jim is my older brother)


THE SECOND IDIOT

This will be short as a poem can be
This idiot was 8, and I was but 3.
He convinced me that indeed , he thought I could fly
so I jumped off the roof, in my first daring try.

I was hoping someday that I could see Mars,
But all I can say is -THAT day I saw stars!

THE THIRD (and fourth) IDIOT

This one I married in a blind glow of love
(I can hear God laughing, as he listens above)
But to be honest, I ‘ll say tonight
It took TWO morons to do it up right.

The problem was really a kind of a curse.
While I just got BETTER, he would get WORSE
It would take me ten years to open the locks
And leave him to play with his own mental blocks.

*******

Oh well that's enough, for this write -off this posting,
That our dear friend Stockholder is currently hosting.

I’ll have another chapter to add
Before the last deadline. I promise it’s BAD!

*****

Excuse this poor effort, but I started to rhyme
And I can never resist, for too long a time!
Maybe the moral of my story to be
Says the idiot here really is me.
