Win Some Lose Some

Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all. - Thoreau

he rolled out of bed

his bones loaded

grabbing a morning coffee at 7-eleven

squinting snake eyes in the blinding morning sun

a hard luck story riding the rails on boxcars

the worst times were when things went down the crapper

the best when he made his point and folks listened

usually the hard way

always taking his chances

life was a gamble

Author's Note

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” - Thoreau

I call that ManWrite.. full of how men think, act. Brilliant phrase, 'squinting snake eyes in the blinding morning sun, ' Your second stanza could stand alone as a b/w short, Pete.

Satriani's not bad either.
