He left the bases loaded He left a lot of par putts short He left friends laughing at his tales Of how he failed at every sport. He left a girlfriend at the altar He left an ex-wife home in tears He left his brother on a barstool, Paying for his beers. He left money on the table He left well enough alone He left his job before the quitting time Told his boss, “I’m headed home.” He left a scrap of paper, With a short conclusive note It said, “I think we’ve got it wrong, But I am just one vote.” He left some pictures on the table, Arranged in a collage He left his pick up running That night in his garage.
