We Were Enthused  

     We were in one accord. 

     We wanted a life we adored, one we could afford. 

     We could serve on a board or buy a Ford.

     We could go to Africa, to be gored by a horde. 

     We heard that Paris has towered walls. 

     We went to the closet for what was stored. Same old horde. 

     We even pulled a cord.

     We went for a walk, 'till the rain just poured. 

     We wished to sail, but our boat was moored. 

     We scored at games, usually bored. 

     We wondered...and...

     We pleaded with the Holy One, "Have mercy Lord."
