Humorous and serious rhyming verse, funny poems, poetry, limericks and valentines written by David Axton.


Realism
Is the glass half empty or is it half full? whichever it is I bet
If you turn the glass upside down the floor gets just as wet
And yet the optimistic view is impossible to ignore
For 50% empty or 50% full, there's room for 100% more
But is that really optimism? it's open to debate
For what is left inside the glass may be something that you hate.
