Subject: The Vagaires of Time

Here of late I tend to ponder,
On the vagaries of life.
The importance of a man’s career-
His offspring and his wife.

The way his time is wasted-
Filthy lucre lain in store…
IRA’s all drawing interest-
Shouldn’t life amount to more?

Since we have imaginations-
And propensity to dream,
Life should be more ephemeral-
Not a stolid, leaden stream.

Why is love a mere abstraction?
Why is romance a mere joke?
Why are words so often wasted-
If golden silence need be broke.

What a shame that time is fleeting-
And a life so quickly spent.
When one’s youth is far behind him,
And he wonders where it went.

Ah, for a dream that has no waking-
Such a life would be sublime…
But my heart is slowly breaking,
From the vagaries of time.
