Poem Commentary

This is what happens after aweek of" toy story, cars, and princess bride"

O P

Lord i'm really hooked,
what am I supposed to do?
Took a whole week off,
to do a chore or two.
I ran around the park,
and chased the kids up stairs,
but when I went in the library, past the second door,
you were still sitting there.
My muse had you logged on,
my pass word she didn't know,
but one tickle of my fancy,
set me down I had to go.
My friends hadn't missed me,
they all just read right on.
so many poems to choose from,
didn't notice I was gone.
I need a moment to stop and think,
now just where do I begin.
Muse has your list silly habbit. I
I guess I'll jump on in.

Papa... And what a rude muse she is too! She wakes me up in the middle of the night and won't let sleep until I get up and do her bidding. Like time, the muse is a brutal mistress... Maybe someday there will be a Poets Anonymous organization for folks like us... A great write, my friend.
