Not so long ago my wife, Elizabeth, suggested that we should attempt writing some poetry. I say “attempt” because poetry is really not my medium. Not that I don’t enjoy a good poem, and especially a Limerick, but….well……..I’ve just never considered really trying to write poetry regardless of how moved I may be by some subject matter….because you see
I’m really not a poet, and everyone would certainly know it.
With paper and pen, I could get a few words in.
But to those who could read I’d be forced to concede,
That I should just crumple and throw it.
See what I did there? …think nothing of it. I wouldn’t. Shoot, even if the cadence reads right, it’s not even a good Limerick because it is not filthy. I mean, you could let your kids read that and it would be ok……what fun is that?
Have a great weekend, everyone!
