The snags and crooks; the sideways looks;
Taught lessons I use yet.
I conquered fear, and that my dear;
Earned my profound respect.

imagine, an armful of clover.
How big, how big is an armful of clover.
Some people think of clover as only a weed.
I/'/m talking pure clover babe, absolutely pure
unadulterated clover.
That kind of clover is hard to turn away from.
I used to see clover all the time, sure.
But that clover was mixed with a whole lot of
grasses, different weed, and it smelled of
nitrate, soil fertilizer.
It was once thought to very much be precariat, versus the armful of clover, the bourgeoisie, that of
our forefathers in the middle class who thought that they were so above the prolitariat yet they were not.
All we all wanted was an armful of clover.
And to live our dream no matter what.
And sure, an armful of clover, on the side,
would be just fine, but never was it something
I for one could count on, so yeah,
I/'/ve given up on that myth too if you will,
Thank you very much!
Peace! |

sorry,I meant, to say,
there are few farmers
of clover, in the history of humankind,
and your poem, regarding your own
life ranks much higher,
then the crops they ever produced.

oh sure, if there even was some fine,
cottage industry of farming clover,
of which I am quite sure there never
was. And if there was, I/'/m quite sure
the boys down on Wallstreet would find
a way to screw the farmers, And Trump
would find a way to tariff all clover
from because he was just being a prick,
Canada says back to Trump, pigs eat clover
too you son of a /*****/, and they would be right
to say so. Since from Cape Spear to the Yukon,
yeah, we got a lot of clover you hoser
It/'/s true. |

We in Canada fought in wars for our clover,
not to be shoveled around like some errant
tiny country just because we have so much clover,
clover is nice, let me remind you, it/'/s sanguine
and pristine here in Canada, ever been to
Manitoba Donny old boy?
Putin/'/s buds the oligarchs all stole the glover
from Siberia before it had a chance to renew itself.
Even if Putin had some clover to give, you think he would give it to you? Yeah, he probably would.
For the power over the rest of the free world he would.
Peace! |

Reminds me that life is all about learning from your mistakes and that everything we do helps shape who we are.
Those who have life given to them on a plate learn little of its true value
