WALK AND CHEW GUM

fuche_bu

Sorry,

no photos

from my poetry reading

at Fergie’s Pub.

 

Hey, I know

all about multi-tasking.

 

I proudly inform you

that I can walk 

& chew gum at the same time

with relative ease. 

 

But like Dirty Harry advised,

“A man’s got to know his limitations.”

 

And much to my chagrin

I learned that 

I can’t do a poetry reading

and take a selfie at the same time.

 

Humble pie never tastes good

but the occasional slice

is good for the soul.

    That last stanza is so true - it is called experience.
