Rat Race

Rat Race

A Poem by terry smith

While all the other mice
 were scurrying
 hurrying 
through life's labyrinth 
maze in a
 hazy daze 
of desperation
you and I
hand in hand
took our time
and enjoyed
every stage
and when we finally
 got to the end 
of life's journey
and saw
 the piles of bodies
we knew 
we had won
the race.

I think Roarke has an obsession with cheese, but that's just my opinion...laughing. Cheese and onion sandwiches are apparently an antidote for insomnia btw. lol Anyway, I love your wonderings. I say, hell ya, leave the rat race behind :)

thanks:).........
This is so sweet Terry. I found it very romantic. The best way to avoid the insanity of the rat race; is when we're sharing it with someone we love. It can almost feel like either time has stopped or our world is just moving so fast that they didn't even noticed. I enjoyed read this.

whole heartedly agree
sadly you can't take the cheese or the bodies with you when ya go. Like Cher and Sonny's BEAT, the race goes on. Rats are used to grow human ears on their backs and GMO cheese is all the rage, cheese rage....that being said, it's sublime to have someone to hold hands with through life's twists and turns.
