Just One Brain Cell

I sit here at my computer All fired up with thoughts a plenty Check the list for the contests Mind goes blank completely empty See the forms that are asked for Look them up to get it right Thinking what have I let myself in for Mind still a blank still can’t write Then a light goes on in one brain cell Murmurings start to waken my brain Just one line will do I foretell Brain says coffee might help the strain Then the light goes on all over Words start to tumble from my mind In no time the poem is ended Submitted and entered it when refined.
