Has-Beens A Poem

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Out of date?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.

(Well after I wrote this poem I realized that I had been channeling Emily Dickinson’s 1861 poem (260) “I’m Nobody! Who are you? / Are you – Nobody – too? . . . .)
