the writing bug

willyweed

the writing bug

done bit me

 

when I

was just a boy

 

since that day

until this one

 

it's filled my

heart with joy

 

some times

it gets itchy

 

every now

and then

 

the only way

to fix it

 

is to scratch it

with my pen

 

if you came

  here for writing

 

we would love

to see your words

 

if you are 

are a critic

 

 if you're slinging

nasty verbs

 

that's not going

to fly here

 

they'll kick you

to the curb

 

everybody body

looks up here

 

nobody is 

looking down

 

that's just the

way we like it

 

in our bug

infested town

                      I am tempted to say something about insecticides but that would be suicidal. Thoughtful, light and fun.
