AGONY ON ME



Gloom, despair, agony on me,
Deep dark depression, excessive misery.
If it weren't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair and agony on me ! ! !


Sound familiar?  It should to most of us baby boomers.  A very popular TV show especially here in the south on Saturday nights.  It was meant for a joke in Cornfield county, but that little verse has been carried down through time all over every where.......Thus, the subject of this poem.........
G - Got up this morning feeling all down

L - Long time now, had nothing but a frown.

O - Old man worry has a hold on me

O - Our situation is so bad you see.

M - Misery has been my friend for a long time.




D - Doubt if I ever got my right mind.

E - Every time I think that I'll make the dead line,

S - Something comes along and takes the dough away

P - Poorer than a church mouse, as MAMA used to say.

A - And I'm not sure where we'll be laying our head

I - In a month from now,  if we don't get some bread.

R - Rent's past due for the umpteenth time...




A - A man might come with papers, cause I'm behind.

G - God if you're listening, I need some help, if you please

O- Our family's in a mess, and we could stand some ease.

N - Never thought to ask you for anything before

Y - Yet, I know you're up there, "Cause you been knocking at my door!
     
Why do people wait til troubles come to call?
When Jesus said,  His Father would supply all.
The secret to good living is giving your heart to Him
Then you'll never worry about things getting thin.

Proverbs 30: 4 ~ 8

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?  who hath gathered the wind in his fists?  who hath bound the waters in a garment?  who hath established all the ends of the earth?  what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell.

Every word of God is pure:  he is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die

Remove far from me vanity and lies:  give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me
