Annie's Tag: What I Would or Would Not Settle For

Sitting in front of the computer
And I'm dreaming away
Feel like blogging something
But no creative juices today
And then I remember Annie's tag
Oh heck, why not, okay

Life's full of shit
It's just like the loo
Take it or leave it
What else can you do

So what would I NOT settle for
Wow! there are so many things
Foremost on my angsty list
Concerns food and cooking

Spare me all the MSG
It drains my throat dry
And if I lose my crowning glory
I think that I will cry

Go easy on the salt, sugar and oil
I'm not taste-deprived
My stomach's not cast iron
I still want to stay alive

Don't give me lousy portions
Then charge me like a king
No absurd service charges
For waiting and dreaming

Second on my No-No list
Concerns those I call friends
They are my greatest pleasure
But also a source of angst

Please don't betray me
I'm not JC, HELLO...
If you break one too many promises
My displeasure you will know

I don't like pretenses
It drives me up the wall
Honesty is the best policy
Lies makes your repute small

The final thing I would not settle for
A life of mediocrity
I can't stand total boredom
Oh somebody please entertain me

OK, enough of bitchy angst
I'm not unreasonable you know
There are things I can settle for
Which contradicts my top three woes

Lousy food but great company
I forget eating at such times
For nothing beats good fellowship
Water becomes like fine wine

Although I rant of fellow men's faults
I'm still a pushover, you see
For when true friendship prevails
All that's needed is just an apology

I fear my standards get much lower
As life's clock ticks away
I'm easily satisfied these days
When it comes to mediocrity
A fun game, a simple chat
The latest cinema show
A pleasant road trip, a song to sing
And I am good to go

So it's not really important as such
What I would settle for, what I would not
I learning to try not to think so much
Instead, in everything, thank God
