MUST

 

Don’t like these “musts” –

these “have to’s”.  I rather

face a hundred “want to’s”.

I suppose that’s not the way

life works. Does anyone get

away with only having to do

what they like or enjoy? How

about Kings or Queens? Do

they only eat clams and cake –

if that is what they want for supper?

Yet nobody owns all the roads

that lead to favorite restaurants.

We must learn how to deal with traffic.

Neighbors and strangers get beat up

and robbed on the roads of life

and someone has to stop to help them.

Otherwise we won’t have stories.
