    Stuck in Neutral

    my life is stuck in neutral
    i can't get it to go
    i might have to call the shop
    and try to get a tow
    its a rusty piece of junk right now
    everything is going wrong
    the headlights hardly work
    and the defroster takes too long
    I've got to try and fix it up
    i just can't trade it in
    but every time i fix something
    it just breaks down again
    if i manage to get it started
    it takes a while for it to go
    the battery is shot too
    its energy's too low
    at times it needs a jump start
    and i have to get the cord
    sometimes even that don't work
    and i have to ask the lord
    lord please help me
    help me fix this rig
    if you can help me out this time
    man I'd love you big
    but i feel guilty asking
    only when i need assistance
    and how i save him as a last resort
    like he's the path of least resistance

    you have easily got to be one of the most authentic, genuine poets on here...I laughed and cried and related to every word you said, especially the last four lines. I can tell, just by your writing, you are a real good guy...and I love your writing.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

    Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
