SKINNY SOUL <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

11-19-2017<\/p>\n

He was a man of the world,
\nWho acquired fortune & fame,
\nHe spent his entire life,
\nJust to make himself a name.<\/p>\n

Sparing nothing and no one,
\nHe climbed to the very top,
\nBut one night a heart attack,
\nBrought his sad life to a stop.<\/p>\n

Thus He bowed before God,
\nA wretched, skinny old soul,
\nDeceived by worldly pursuits,
\nHe’d missed the greatest goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
