Inspiration!

Sitting at the keybored symbols mired in my head, lacking inspiration, filled with exasperation, I think that I'll just hobble back to bed! Images of castles and damsels in distress are not forthcoming, would be quite becoming, right now I'd take a wrestler in a dress. A wrestler in a dress! now there's a picture! something to pique my poor beleaguered soul; he sports a tutu quite delectable, not at all prim and respectable, and by no measure neglectable, I'm finally on a roll!

LOL..this is a fun poem, Keith. I suppose when it comes to inspiration, it's 'whatever turns your crank'. I hope yours wasn't being turned by this wrestler...they look to be very strong, and not always so delicate. One of my sons loved wrestling; I always wondered how they could leave the ring without a stretcher. Blessings to you...Love, Mikki

I think this is the first time I laughed in front of that exasperating key board in days and God knows thats what we all need with these long January days upon us. I think your poem is fanbulously witty. Good on you. I see you commented on my Haikus, many thanks for that. Déirdre

LOLOL!!! A wrestler in a dress! Oh, your imagery is wonderful, Keith. I bet he doesn't have slender calves, either. Thank you for the laugh. I really needed it! This is really funny. I keep picturing George "the Animal" Steel in all his hairy glory. LOLOL!!! I love this! Love and a BIG HUG for this, Robin
