Little Paul McAvoy
Was a very jocund boy
He wanted to be a writer
Instead became a fighter
There he finds no joy
…
Little Anne Maybelline
Wanted to be a beauty queen
But she never did pursue
What she always wished to do
Merely now a working machine
Once again a great poem. Thanks so much, Frank.

How does the saying go? “The best-laid plans…” I think most people aren’t doing what satisfies them, sadly. Nice one, Frank.

I first read the last line as “Merely now a washing machine”.. 😅
Good poem, though. 👍

Hm well humans make their plans. But the will of God always prevails. For me, I wanted to be done with school, have my own car, be married, have kids already. Instead, here I am, sharing my testimony. There was a time i found that my life, is not my own. And it all just happens and occurs, however God wants. It’s what the Spirit does for you though. You could be bummed about that sort of thing, or you could just stay positive, be happy, regardless. And maybe even better plans, better than you had hoped for, could happen. It all depends on you, I believe, and how you see it. Live in shame regret and negativism, or live a life that is positive. Regardless, of your circumstances. Hm hm ^-^

I wanted to leave a word
But I have always heard
That if you write and say less
No one will ever guess
That your thinking is absurd
(Just a little humor)
