balance ?

[saw]

I don't really believe green tea and shark cartilage
will spare me from an early grave, but I do like
the notion of trying to trick the marauding armies
of brain cells into believing they have a battle on their hands

no sense in rolling over, I mean those little bastards
are so smug, sitting there in the amen corner of my mind
grinning, waiting patiently for me to drop my guard, sip
a few more Bloody Marys, wolf down a couple more

french apple pies, then whammo ! it's on, all out war
the enemy signals Bravo company to move out, jam
some more of that super-glue-junk into my already
narrowing arteries while Charlie company marches up and over

heartbreak ridge, plants a little victory flag in the center
of my overtaxed ticker, so i like to get my kicks pissing then off
confounding the elite goodie-two shoes by popping a handful
of vitamins slugged down with a Dr. Pepper chased with a shot

of Johnny Walker black, screw 'em, i never hired them
in the first place to be my private guard dogs, c'mon
what's wrong with knockin' back a few Bass Ale's or even
eating a pint of double fudge cookie dough ice cream in the bathtub

smothered in whipped cream, what am I working for ?
to prove to the world what an angel I can be, Hell no one
would belief that crap in the first place, and secondly if I
then turned into Mr. Perfect, my in-laws would start dropping by unannounced

HELLO !.....you must excuse me now, it's time
to wash down some bee pollen, spirulina, garlic, and ginger
with a double shot of Wild Turkey...It's Time to get my Ying
in tune with my Yang Dang Doodle

BAKLAVA= is really good this time o f year- blackberries and ice cream kind of works-
medicine is a perspective- an approach- many things work- one thing will not be enough- do this this and this- maybe laugh a little - because early or late - grave is where we go- it might be fun=

Balance= the middle road= the mediocre road. Darn fine poem.
