It’s Today Again

Who do we have to thank?

Who do we have to blame?

I’m my own Boss.

I don’t boss myself around…

…I used to… how do you think

I lived this long?

I had to play by some rules.

Others I could avoid.

So, today again, always something 

seemingly new, disguised sameness,

but I’m old and keep forgetting, so

I can’t complain because I can’t remember.

I wish the same joy for you.

Sorry, everybody’s not a winner…we all

have a finish line thanks for playing.

Participation trophies are so degrading.

Bruce Jenner was the greatest athlete 

in the world.

The best he could come up with after that

was to change his sex. Let that sink in.

It took some balls to do that.

I find the whole thing indicative of the

human predicament.

It all boils down to: “What to do?”

…the basis for all human comedy, drama

and stupidity.

Have I left anything out?

Only the dogs: it’s today again for them too.
