Poet

Friday, July 6th, 2007

(From Bullfrog Press):

I’d rather be a poet
than a captain of industry

I’d rather design a building
than speak before parliament

I’d rather play golf with friends
than win a tournament

I’d rather hear a learned lecturethan watch TV

I’d rather read a vital book
than work in the yard

I’d rather pray and meditate
than dream of stuff I don’t have

I’d rather talk to friends openly
than tell a lie.

Vern Wiltse
