Completely finished

 

No English dictionary can explain the difference between, complete and finished,

Some people say there is no difference and either word cannot be diminished,

Try as I might I have looked in most,

And the amount of time and effort it’s cost,

 

Has my head in such a spin,

Between complete and finished I can’t decide who wins,

Am I finished when I decide that I am done?

Are things complete when it is no longer fun?

 

Things seem confusing when I am near the end,

For on these two words I cannot depend,

I’m beginning to think that final is the thing,

Yet complete and finished have such a nice ring,

 

So I’ve thrown the dictionaries into the thrash,

And decided to explain things simple but harsh,

Here is my take on these similar words to date,

Because on my nerves they are beginning to grate,

 

When you marry the right woman you are thus complete,

And all things in life are then nice and neat,

When you marry the wrong woman then you are surely finished,

And your life will steadily and painfully diminish,

 

But should the right one catch you with the wrong one having fun,

Then you are completely finished and finally done,

But if you don’t start in the first place there’s no end,

Having been caught with the wrong woman you cannot defend,

 

All in all I am still confused,

Right or wrong woman I am completely finished feeling used,

So I should stick with the right woman and be complete,

Because the wrong one will see me finished in defeat,
