Dave's High School Poetry - 1975

 

Good for Naught

My dreams, my god,
Are wasted here.

My son, you clod,
You've lost your cheer.

For one and one
Are two you know.

No place for fun.
No place to go.

What a delightful little ditty, bemoaning the fact the girl of my affections was definitely going steady with another guy my age. Much of the next verses were dedicated to her, and to me, trying to understand what it was that I had that I might give it to another.

In many ways I am so lucky that she never returned my affections (since all poets, even fifteen year olds, blossom best while suffering).
