Life is Like….
By Larry Linville
He was the priceless philosopher.
He’d been ‘round the block many times.
The ladder of life was familiar
‘cause he’d taken so many climbs.
He had a way of making a point
by trying to turn an old phrase.
That wisdom which once was so weak
has improved with the passing of days.
“Life’s like a roll of toilet paper,”
he said as his elbow he would bend.
“It seems to keep going faster
while you’re getting closer to the end.”
When your life keeps gaining momentum
and you feel blown around by a fan
remember these great words of wisdom
each time you go sit on the can.
Give thanks that they’ve made progress
otherwise you’d be out of luck.
In the old days there was no roll
for the good old Sears and Roebuck.
