Description
This old fool
Sits alone in front of the piano again
Because enough was never enough
For this old Vaggabondd
He always knew
There was one more song
One more dance
One more lady to kiss
To make love to
But the years
Have slipped up on him like a thief
Now he is alone
And lonely
And everyone is tired
Of his song
But he's still the old fool
Who just keeps playing
He just can't help himself
He is the Vaggabondd
This is a old picture I took a few years back, back in the good old days when I could have a beard :) I tried to pose like I was eating beans and bread like a minor or something haha. How did I do? I wanted to write something new but my brain was on empty so I went with a old poem to go with this old picture I hope everyone likes it Randy

That pic works perfectly with this one, Randy. After all, what could be more lonely than a man eating beans out of a metal plate in the middle of the woods? LOL... Nice selective coloring -- it adds to tha solitary feel...
We all play out life's drama my friend ... but time is a thief of the finest parts. Nice poem! Mike
your picture is perfect as are your words superb as always hugs lou x
A great poem to go with a great picture. I like your use of selective colouring here in the image, and the poem is very beautiul. Thanks for sharing.
Very touching poem Randy, lots of feeling in such few words...the shot is great as well with the color effect. How's the beans? (hehe) not a real fav for us women... just kidding! Are you telling us you are a beardless man now? :) Thanks for sharing with us!
love it Randy, and the photo!!
Nothin wrong with old poems and old pix, they're always still fun to read and see; this one's no exception!!
Beautiful poem and photo.
Wonderful photo and words..very nice Randy!!
LOL!!!
Nice merge of words and photo, I particularly like the line "but the years have slipped up on him like a thief" they have a way of doing that to us all. : )
Only those who leave this world young, escape the trials of those left behind. There's an old saying Randy, "you begin the journey toward death, the moment you're born". Gads...that sounds so depressing...but true. I prefer the many words of my (now deceased) Irish grandmother..."Maireann croí éadrom i bhfad." Translation: "A light heart lives long." Wonderful image and poem, Randy. You're very talented...and I have a wish of my own for you...(another Irish blessing). "May brooks and trees and singing hills join in the chorus too, and every gentle wind that blows send happiness to you." Hugz, Robin
Well written, moody piece my friend, no matter how old it is. I like the photo, too. Nice hat! :)
Beautiful work, Randy and old is always good. All of your words are so real and true to life. Excellent work!
very cool man i like it. even on empty ur brains still goin. although i'll bet someone might be upset because someone probably just gave the beans n bread to you for free...L.O.L.!!!
