You don’t have to
be a private Dick
to know
that Jane Doe
is capable
of writing
a Dear John
letter
and
an average Joe
like you
won’t be
christened
Sir
by the Queen
so stop
acting like
Ripley
and realize
that believe
it or not
you may
not break
any Guinness
world records
and you
might just
barely
keep up
with the Joneses
and you
never stood
up to the man
and
nobody
ever called
you tall
dark
or handsome
and you
never had
much fun
with a blonde
and you may
not be
looking
ahead
to the best
years
of your life
but you still have
a head on
your shoulders
and food on
the table
and even
if you
can only
count your
blessings
on one hand
you must deal
with the
cards
you were dealt
even though
you know
the house always
wins
you still
have a chance
to go out
swinging
