doubt
doubt is a curse
certainty is worse

off course, one of the big questions is
why aren’t we holding fast to those childhood dreams?
why aren’t we living up to our potential?
Seth says it’s easier to take a whinge

sometimes
needs gnaw
and wants want a bushel
a roll in the hay
every day
a different lass
a looking glass
to see myself augmented
I want a tiara
and I want applause
I want appreciation
and not to care
if I repeat myself
or spout ardent nonsense

like Tony with his million sheep
or Hitler with his Jews
I want to know I’ve done my best
and you to know it too
