Events...A Poem That Doesn't Rhyme

Events.

Life would be so predictable, so safe and easy if it weren’t for events.    

Those dastardly disruptions to our carefully drawn plans.                                         

Like sudden summer storms, like a young man’s tumour                                              

Or the runaway horse who runs you down.     

                                                         

Events.   

Life would be so predictable, so dull and boring if it weren’t for events.  

Those joyous interruptions to our daily drudgery.                                                      

Like sudden spring snowfalls, like an unexpected gift
Or the unlooked for lover who steals your heart.
