A Label Is Just... Well Just That

Inspired from a poem from Jacob entitled " Something Called Something"

A Label Is Just... Well Just That

 

 

 

 

 

Why is it

Always written in ink

When logic dictates

That it should be scribbled in pencil.

 

Use my head as an eraser

And I will rove

That what comes to mind

Wasn’t learned from the heart.

 

You can even carve it in stone

But people soon forget

With enough weight

Thrust upon in it

That stones are not indestructible.

 

You can put your own   nametag

Upon your chest,

But if you put it on others

There’s a hundred percent chance

You’ll mis spell their name.

 

Rumor has it

That if you start believing labels

You will become one yourself.

You are definitely your own voice, Cowboy...and you fill all of us with enjoyment from your work.

Enjoyable poem, Dale. Filled with bits of folksy humorous wisdom it would make Twain smile and nod in agreement. I'm not surprised you drew inspiration from Jacob's work. He tends to have that effect on quite a few writers here with his prolific writing. Thank you for sharing your work.
