Wished away the reality of my life
Torn asunder with banality’s strife
Babies, bosses and most always the wife
My cup runneth over bubbling with rife
I point my own finger at me, my mind
Putting pen to paper I did consign
In fact if it wasn’t for me, my con line
Who at twenty doesn’t think it will be fine
I fell to bottom of a deep deep mine
Said what I had to and it’s time to choose
The next rhyming word, please choose not to lose

Ah, I grew up with an absentee dad. I did know he though.
This is cute and fun, Michael. I like the ending.
