..
Usually decisions...Are made without regret.
But a single moment of weakness
Creates anguish we'ed rather forget!
Never blindly gamble, always hedge your bet.
Never walk a tightrope, without a safety net.
Impulse can cause chaos, devoid of any neatness.
So pray your life does NOT reflect...
A single moment of weakness.

Nice one...true,think twice before you act!
i figure i have jacked it up enough...glad i got grace and though i try i imagine once again i will jack it up...thank goodness i am not in the spotlight...
Smart-minded work, as usual. Made me smile.
My blind gambles have made some of my most fun memories.
something I needed to hear today. Thank you.
...a progressive triolet, perhaps? LOL. Oh, such wisdom. They really are all pegged with a scarlet letter of sorts, aren't they. Fantastic poem, whatever the style!
The human thinks you've written a very nice poem. (My weakness is PEANUTS!)
Such a conundrum..I revel in some of my single moments of weakness but a few others? Buried deep where they can't be found :)
Haha...enjoyed the photo montage almost as much as your poem. Memories of the rich and clueless. :)
Words of wisdom for the impulse-driven.:)
Damn. That was really smooth. Excellent poetic telling with gambling and circus imagery balancing the voice and emphasizing your point.
Love the photos before the poem. They add so much more. GReat words of wisdom G
Amazing to think just poor judgment separates the losers from the winners--or is it just the bad luck of getting caught? Wise words and trademark snark make for an excellent one shot.
disambiquation(my brain hurts)
Very educational wise poem...
Thanks Galen.
I'm always glad that my mistakes are not shared on an international stage. I liked this poem a lot, Galen.
I am more of a fly by the seat of your pants kind of gal...at least I hope so...luckily there is no danger of me becoming famous, and being the subject of anyone else's blog but my own...Hehehe! Good writing, Mr Knowitall, as usual!
Nice one G.
Food for thought well written, many things I have jumped into without forethought, loved every minute, even if not at the time lol ;)

Super!
...Never walk a tightrope, without a safety net...
The sudden twitch of a toe...!
Most mistakes in life are made in a moment of weakness or madness don't you think?
Well said Galen and in FAR FAR fewer words than I would have been able to say this sage bit if advice.
Here's a comment poem for YOU...
Once a young fellow in Michigan
Did long for warm weather to fish again
But with 3 feet of snow
And 20 below
All he could do was just wish again.

And hey -- I have a photo of you in my post today!!
xoxo
Thanks G-man!!
Needed this really bad. Tired of being feeling depressed. I am becoming thoughtful now :)
Love xx
brought a smile to my face...and well written too...pee wee herman always makes me laugh...bet he wished he was somewhere else that day
People will remember that one mistake longer than a thousand successes.
(Can you say Pete Rose?)
Nice One Shot, G-Man!
good advice thanks
Well done, G-Man!
what I always tell the grandkids think twice or even three times before acting and think if there is consequences and if so will it be worth the consequences? If not then you know its probably better not to do it.I usually add will gpa and gma be upset? If you answer yes then again you better not do it. So far its been working but there have been a couple of close calls. I'll be glad when grandson is gone (3 more yrs) and Mr Gab and I can do our own thing good or bad.
Aaahhh...nice one, Galen!!
We are how we overcome our weaknesses..aren't we now!?! But pray tell me, how do I get over chocolate!? :)
"Creates anguish we'ed rather forget!" -- i liked this line a lot!!
The "we'ed" in this line -- well - I saw it as a pun! A weakness for some indeed... :)
YOU ROCK, G...as ever!!
Oh.. and if you have the time, here is my one shot for ya to read..
No disambiguation needed here. There is only one G-Man! You are a man of many dimensions, Galen, all of them a delight.
sage advice from mr knowitall. nicely done.
A good one and I enjoyed reading it a lot... thanks for sharing...
