#1 My Life
My life's like a cup of coffee.
It is black and bitter,
But sometimes with sugar of love,
And sometimes with cream of fun.
My life's like a bottle of wine.
It is claret and sweet,
But if I enjoy it too much at a time,
I will finish the bottle sooner.
My life's like a bowl of ice-cream.
It is cold and sweet,
But if I don't eat it quick,
It will melt into a mess.
My life's like a speeding boat.
It skims away so swift.
What's left in its wake?
Foams and fading ripples.
My life's like a dumb firecracker.
It goes off without a sound
And has nothing like a noise to make
In this wide ambitious world.
