Free Agent

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

Looking for a new team - but not in a big hurry

"

Free Agent


well the final cuts have been made

I'm no longer part of the team

my talents no longer needed

but it was an incredible dream


I was likely out of my league

unable to stay the pace to keep up

my shortcomings finally showed clearly

still drinking from the old sippy cup


it was one hell of a ride

I still struggle to catch my breath

I had hoped this would last forever

last until my parting death


but you get exactly your deserving

now it's time to charge straight ahead

there are other teams still looking

for a capable body and head


I have lots of things to offer

so I will take my time to review

I am more than just a pretty face

what you get depends on you

I like the use of the term "The final cut." Good way to release someone. I did like the ending.
"there are other teams still looking
for a capable body and head"
Thank you for the excellent poem.
