Day 344

I was thinking about the phrase ignorance is bliss and it gave me the idea for the first two lines of this one. Incidentally, it also contains a nod to my first foray into writing metered verse … the lyrics to a song called Bad Situation that I wrote at the age of 13.

If I knew then
Blissfully ignorant
of the ramifications
of all the lost causes
and bad situations
that I’ve stumbled into
over the years,
but not everything
is quite as it appears.
