Old school

Old school

A Poem by Mauricio Montoya

Slipping with some slide
Never with out rhythm
But regained time
Everything lost
When you lose
Yes your mind
Slip.and slide
But you and like me
Will fall, you can bet on it
House always wins
Black jack if you can count
But the house will wipe you out
Because you figured, the game
no.vadation because you see
Skipping with a slide won't go you far
The ladder, two step up.
You're brought down, 4
By what surrounds you
Is the play
But to win this game
You need to read between,
The lines to be old-school.

we slip . & slide throughout life's journey
along with the sunshine there comes the
rainy days as well, from our youth to old
age is a learning process ..life is a gamble
to be sure..I like the way you wrote this
well expressed piece...nice work

And thank you for sharing.
"Slip, slide and away," as the old song went. Yes, the house always has the advantage. That's why you have to play it smart. That includes not gambling in the first place.

Welcome friend 😊
dear Mauricio... Aging is a Dance as we slide and slide to and fro..
perhaps with a Cane once in a while. We welcome the Weather and Birds with Feathers... as we move with the Wind and adjust our Sails. Your poetry is inspiring as we dream of a Buggy Ride with Six White Horses. gently, Pat
