Life's Toys Aug 28, 2009
Jim Magee - Poet of the "Common" Man
Dedicated to: All my "brothers" who've been there too!

A man spends his life collecting his toys
Some made for cooking - some to make noise
He gets things to make his life, somehow seem free
He has a passion for living the way he wants to be

He always finds women to help him find more
Still - sooner or later they'd "show him the door"
And whenever they did so, he could never prepare
For packing and moving, to go who knows where

It would always catch him by total surprise
they'd ask him to leave but never look in his eyes
they never would tell him why their life had ended
Just leave him confused with his life suspended

Starting life over will always be tough
And the things that you own are never enough
But when you have to replace things time after time
It's almost enough to make you lose - your - mind!
