Ohh, time for today's poem
Shall I write today?
Ermmmm
Maybe, perhaps, could do
Not sure, not certain
Possibly, you know how it is
If I get round to it
After pro-wotsit
Procrastinating, that is
(Long word there!)
Hmmmmm
I'm a bit undecided
A little doubtful
Shall I write now or later?
Oh it's too early
Got headache thinking this time of day
I'll do it later
Oh no, the day's gone by
Too late to write now
Too tired, can't be bothered
Oh well ,there's 'tomorrow'
If it ever comes
When it gets here, it's 'today'
Strange that!
What's that?
You're glad I ran out of time
To save ya hear me singing?!
Melodious tones
Of two cats singing
What's that?
I must stop insulting cats?!
I could waffle on for ages
I know ya want me to really
Ya loves it
Just a much as I do!
What's brought about all this?
Oh well, it's me
I forgot to add water
To the sherry!
It's thrown out me metres, syllables
And whatever
Even those iambic tetrameters
I dunno what they are
Even without the sherry!
I might be using them without knowing it
Under false pretences?
Hee hee!
PS. Roll up! Roll up!
Enrol now on the annual 1066 gathering (UK)
Pop over from the USA to wherever, if you have to
The only entry requirement is -
Ya have to have been there in person in 1066!
I can't stand much more of this daftness!
LOL

May your tetrameters not be filled with words that cause you to become Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic.
Thanks Gold, lol. Anything to do with hippos, that hippo word?
Note to self...
Never add water to sherry
🙃
Thanks Sylvia. lol.
'False pretences' have brought out your fallible humanity onto our screens in a most enjoyable read this morning (as i somnambulate into the day).
Would love to comment on more of this kind of writing from you.
Thanks dusk. It's a mad 'interval'. I'm not human really. I'm half-human, half guinea-pig - as in my pic?! heehee. Ohh I doubt I'm infallible. Well, only 99% of the time. I must eat more humble pie then!
If you care to send me a PM with your address I'll dispatch the tablets straight away.
Thanks M. Here's the address.....
Hilarious Orchi!
Thanks Christina. lol.
who needs meter, or a tune for that matter... this is good medicine...
Thanks N.
pleasure
