What To Do With One Foot In The Grave


Use the other to stamp and dance and, 

occasionally, kick yourself in the ass.

You deserve it, but afterward, please,

do put it back on solid ground.

Try not to boot yourself in.


Going all in is for microbes only,

nothing likely to help your kind,

or yourself, in contrast to dancing.


Hence, you really should try to avoid it,

(going all in), stay healthy and strong,

flexible, even, in the remaining leg,

that keeps you from going under.
