Would that life could be this simple,
that a poet could dip his pen,
write a poem that paid his mortgage princ'ple.

Would that life could be this simple

I haven't met a poet yet who's been able to do so...but I'm sure it will happen one day ....We're just not that lucky :)

like all the great artists of the world , it has always been not so ... at least we are apaid in appreiciation, but alas this will not py our rent 

We often hear of the Great American Novel, but never of the Great American Poem.  Ever notice that?  
Great write, George.  Thank you.
