Has-Beens A Poem

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Here is a silly poem:

Has-Beens

Sooner or later
Everyone becomes
A Has-Been

Old hat
Behind the times
Yesterday’s news.

Have you ever been a Has-Been? 
Passé? Past your prime? 
Out of date? Démodé?

I’m a Has-Been
But I’m happy
To have been what I has been.

As a retired teacher who has fled the US and is now living in Spain, and as someone who has until now eschewed most forms of social media, I am belatedly beginning to create an online presence. To that end, I am using this WordPress website to archive some of my miscellaneous non-academic writing.  I hope that some of my friends and former colleagues may enjoy this collection, which consists mainly of political editorials, light-weight essays, and silly poems.  I also post here the latest version of my US History textbook, Key Moments in American History.

  2. Better to be a “has been” than a “never was.” Good work, Murray. I’d appreciate if you kept me on your news letter list. I don’t usually comment, but I do read your stuff. — ernie
