How did I get here...

How did I get here...

A Poem by Jon Roggie

I could blame one person,
  but to be honest,
    the works were in process.

This was easy.

Write a few words,
  and wander away.

Then,
  someone reads them.

A few years later,
  yes,
    still here.

Not sure if my grammar has improved,
  and I still don't trust the spell check,
   but I manage to mumble along.

Might be time for a dirty limerick,
  or at least some Journey lyrics...

but it is journey...and spell check be damned...it doesn't know what i meant to write---

we wander away from our words, others wander towards them.

The problem is trying to explain them.
Thanks,
Jon.

I tend to ramble, and rarely explain myself. Take that as you will more..
