You always want the definite...
just WHEN have you known life to give you that?
- - - gray in different shades,
- - - is mostly what you get.
If you were honest with yourself,
you'd be the first one to admit,
that you are fortunate
to get away with that!
Yes or Not...
is what you've never really got,
For better or for worse - - -
is the very least defined!
A calculated risk, although,
is sometimes worth a try.
It's a 50 / 50 proposition,
and there is no guarantee,
that she'll say ' YES ',
to that big mess,
that holds a ring on bended knee!
