A Bit Dry - Ramblings

orchidee



A ramble about sundry things

 

I've dried up a bit

Not like an old prune

But with me 'hymn-book'

Not been writing so many new ones

But digging out old ones that got missed out

 

Come, sweet muse, inspire me

Calliope? Or whatever your name is

Didn't I meet ya 3 million years ago?

 

To be sensible, it's God's Spirit really

I can't think up the hymns all by myself

Though needing vocabulary

To make words rhyme

With me 8888s and 8686s and 486375s, etc

Am I playing bingo?!

 

What other themes, maybe?

More tales of nuttiness?

Entitled 'Of trouts (you know her, KP), or Fido, or botox'

 

Or rants about a certain church

That never stops asking for money

I gotta pray that bit of prayer

'Lead us not into temptation'

Cos I'm tempted to send them a nasty note

Saying things Fido will bark at

Such as, putting it mildly:

'Don't ya realise there's a cost living crisis?'

 

I'd write something 'hot'

But would I ever finish the poems?

I would make myself swoon! heehee

                      You could always go back to writing about pork pies once more Orchi.
