SKINNY SOUL
by Bill Kochman
11-19-2017
He was a man of the world,
Who acquired fortune & fame,
He spent his entire life,
Just to make himself a name.
Sparing nothing and no one,
He climbed to the very top,
But one night a heart attack,
Brought his sad life to a stop.
Thus He bowed before God,
A wretched, skinny old soul,
Deceived by worldly pursuits,
He'd missed the greatest goal.
