Life’s Surprises

Life often startles

With a queer fanfare,

Sends rainbow to cheer

Gifts surprises, that

Glare and are not mere.

The benisons then

Urge and incite, to

Revel and roister,

Joyous, I ravel

For, the chords compel.

Pop comes a handle

In glee, I foretell

Oblivious I

Mither, till I find

The lustrum wafer.

Driven by gusto

I tucked into them,

To swallow, but then

Paused; to speculate

Life's presents, unknown.

All that we assume

Might not be the truth,

Lest you opt to guess

Be aware of the

Measures you shall use.
