Let me let me count the hidden ways on the way to the racetrack...
Let me see? Where is that licquor store?

I don't care if my wife constantly snores..
She'll always have her honey dew list filled to the brim with many more chores.

I used to play 'Scrabble' or 'Upwords' games of words...
I was never interested in as a hobby of looking at birds.

I used to collect postage stamps and American coins...
Since i've grown up and got married-I've had happier loins.

Ha! Ha! Ha! As a poet one must have a sense of humor...
Now my vice is rarely drinking and constantly having the use of the tabbacco'd paper stick'ed fumar.

If i die one day soon from lung cancer...
Then for the tomorrow i'll never have the chance to take lessons to become a professional dancer.

One thing in life that i could not master...
Was the playing of musical instruments or in art of the moulding of Paris De' Plaster.

I used to go bowling and fishing.
I used to draw and paint but now i'm only into the art of publishing and it's printing.

A beer or wine on and again is A-All right....
Not too often-Booze can always cause a mighty violent fight.

Alcohol i do not consume that much...
That's one vice that i hardly ever touch.

Church and the reading of the bible is more my cup of tea...
And the consumption of Murder Mysteries into my brain is usually just for thee.

Writing of poetry is my new hobby of choice...
I sure don't sing because i have a terrible voice.

The reading of poetry is relaxing and nice....
That's my new life's most healthy like vice.

If you don't like my rhyming lines...
You can go to jail and pay off all of your criminalistic high fines.
