hello #dverse poets today we have looked at compound word verse . this took me an age. but hay hoa nothing ventured nothing gained.

All I wanted was music of funk,
But lost teenage years getting drunk,
At sound-bar.
Working alone never be brave,
It only leads you to an early grave,
With crow-bar.
Over eat if you dare on rare steak,
Until your waist elastic breaks,
Candy bar
Run, dance hop or drive to get home,
But Peddling pumps heart better over Chrome,
My Cross-bar
Old age creeps up without a fight,
Ending my working days quite right,
At sound bar.

Overeating is not good specially with a rare steak. We are all helpless with fighting against old age. See you at the sound bar!

The circle of life in fact! Enjoyed the poem’s tongue-in-cheek realism, Rog.

I like your variations here – some evocative images. And I love the old photo: which pier is it?

I enjoyed the quirkiness of this, and the fact that you subvert what seemed to be a very lyrical, serious form.

Returning to the sound-bar at old age sounds great. Music and drink (in moderation) are great.
