Much get up and go?
No - mainly lie down and die -
Fin de Siecle.
I had a big plan
and several smaller ones too;
all came to nothing -
impotent fireworks.
Don't say unexploded bombs! -
evolutionary dead ends.
The world's your oyster
the Optimist said - it's more like
a battered suitcase.
Don't put yourself down,
boast a bit, tell some untruths,
construct an image.
Man so conceited;
he can solve the world's problems;
History says NO.
