Running has never
done much for me as
exercise routine
being non-confrontational
but I do excel at
being in charge
for a time I tried jogging
which is running, but not
losing interest when
it all became just
point A to point B
B usually being right back
where you started
backing down has
never seemed optimal
but being the top guy?
That I can do.
Having run the show
run the race
run the gamut
gotten and given the
runaround
now I’m just running on
so maybe it
would be best if I just
stopped running

You have a gift for such light humour that weaves so beautifully into your poems.
Thank you, Wendie!
Although light-hearted and fun; your prose reveals a depth of self-knowledge that is rare. Nicely done!
Thank you, Gypsie-Ami. Glad you liked that one.
