HAPPENSTANCE
his shoes were tight
her mood was just not right
their first solution was to have a fight
it was by chance that it turned into a night
and the timing was right
so arrived what well-wishers called a delight
Periods of stage freight
turned into a modest limelight
and later, during life's twilight
this and other rhymes would I write

Rolling along
A dung beetle or more politely a scarab befitting an ancient Egyptian is the cleverest creature not upset by self doubt or by suggestions of other directions a stoic neither a pessimist nor an optimist a true social scientist only focused on its subject

A Life with Unused Pages
A notebook found
fifty five years old
Attempts at learning
German, French, marketing, economy
even Russian and Greek tragedy
also personal identity
and family mystery
only duplicate Bridge scores
and poetry of youthful shores
are all that stand out
among the cornucopia of doubt
a measly lot
a foundation that is but a slot
for the narrator's existential plot
