***%) With a hoarse roar he staggers forward in far from full bore

His life’s edging catastrophic:
Seldom hoisted a trophy
Spouted but faux philosophic
Wrote no endearing strophe

Field of ‘talents’ left too long fallow
guts now weak, motivation shallow

Still dreams of resuscitation
tries sally ahead full bore!
No time for procrastination
tries charge with a last gasp roar

as better a bullet in one’s heart
than fleeing and shot in one’s rear part!
