Claire V. Bogdanos

My life is like a slippery hill

Sometimes I fall or take a spill

And there are times I cannot see

A feckless bump in front of me.

My eyesight dims, my courage fails

And all my strength in shadows, pales

I know I should be better at

This game of playing mouse and cat.

I find such things a childish chase

My life has need of richer pace,

Dark monsters hurry, fast away

I have no time for games today !
