The Meandering Mendicant
I’ve experienced three decades of decadence, I worried not what lay ahead;
Living just for that magic moment, squandered funds so easy spread!
Chic country clubs and expensive meals, mega-bucks so easy spent;
Which led me to the present, as a “Meandering Mendicant”!
.
But it’s not more money that I beg for, I have enough to stay afloat;
It’s the wish that I could change the past, and my history be rewrote!
All the frivolity would be eradicated, for investments so secure;
A nest egg from the Golden Goose, no future hardships to endure!
.
But pipedreams are fading fantasies, too soon reality reappears;
That now, I have to pay the price, for all those wasteful years!
I am having so much trouble, accepting my inevitable fate;
I keep reliving all the good old days, for these now I truly hate!
.

Plan for your future
Or you will end up like me
Crying for your past
