ODE TO MT.BRIGHTON(the spirit is willing but the f
I`d rather watch from afar,in my very warm car-that was my will-at the bottom of Mt. Brighton`s hill.....Could I ever compete-?I,who had never been,an athlete??.....Alas! I bet I`d have some fun-if I were only young.....I`d try the sport-without retort.-But,how could you see-YOU are not Me.....That deep in my heart,I`d would never get a head start.......Even if I knew how to ski-I might have slid into a tree....Or even worse,I would have been buried in the snow-(and no one would ever know)!!!!But now that I am older,I wouldn`t vow to being "older".....I`d have to bend my knees,(if at all,to please!! -I might even fall so much more,and probably get so sore......My glasses would surely fall off.and I`d would see nothing at all!!I`d take a look around, to see if someone saw, that I had hurt my "vanity"....And after taking a spill-skiing would be-pure insantity!!!I`d get back on my feet (to which there`s a trick),and I`d be frozen to the quick!! So...if it were up to me,I`d NEVER learn how to ski....And I`d be exhausted at the thought,much more than I ought......There`s no more left to do,(after what I`d been through)....Guess I`ll go home,(to be alone)-so I can moan....In my mind`s eye,in every way,(thank you anyway)-I`ve already had-a very full day!!!!
