Funny Old Man Poem

I don’t know how all this is

going to turn out…I just know

it’s too late to turn back. 

What would be the reason to 

reform my ways when, they’ve 

gotten me so far?

I mean, in time, not success…

survival after all that time lost

at sea.

So, now, it seems obvious I’m

due for a mistake…

I look back and see the ones

I didn’t make…

And apologize

to the executioner when I step

on his boot.
