Humble Pie Life can be - A full-Course meal Not subject to repeal If it’s long - You have ‘Dined’ If short - You ‘Snacked’ and resigned Early - With no appeal The path it covers Often sufffers Lumps And bumps The same - For all others Not that we don’t try To nullify And smooth out Care and doubt ‘Sine Die’ When it’s ‘Blue Sky’ It’s Apple Pie But sometimes - ‘Up’ Becomes - A ‘Screw-Up’ And then - It’s ‘Humble Pie’ A ‘Boaster’ - Never be All ‘Good’ - Is not free Nothing is ‘Pre-Set’ What you get Is a ‘Roller-Coaster’ --- ‘Wheee!’
