The Best Things Are Free
The best things in the world
One can have, enjoy, utilize,
Do what-not for or with,
Are free.
So much so, this has been said
Countless times - even in a song,
Which I can hear on Youtube
For free.
That you desire which isn't quite free
Probably isn't among the best things -
It should at least come with price close
To free.
Strangely, in life, we're always led to
Pursue the things that aren't free,
Take the toll way, and not the toll-
Free way.
Oh how I long for the free things!
How I long to have what I need and
Want - All of which should be free;
All Free.
Free of charge; free of duties;
Free of monetary, credit obligation;
Free of spam and computer viruses;
Just FREE.
Lamenting Things Not Remembered*
Upon me brilliant ideas often creep,
Unexpectedly, and always in my sleep.
Bless I be when the ideas come and stay,
Cursed I am when they fizzle and fade away.
Say last night when an idea came to me,
Vivid in my mind as I woke up to take a pee.
Alas it was nighttime, I was heavy with fatigue,
Come morning, the idea I failed to re-conceive.
All that's left in my memory was the greatness
Of the idea I could not recall; call it craziness.
Now you may laugh at the absurdity of my story,
So go ahead and compare me to Dory.
*My very novice poetry skills usually don't allow my poems to rhyme, and when they do they're always silly. This poem is silly, but it rhymes, so ridicule it if you want, I'm proud of it either way.
