My Fruspoemeter

I've got a clever new invention in the works Going to make a fortune when I work out a few quirks It's no bigger that a breadbox and lighter than a feather It's easily transported and is not affected by the weather It measures poetry frustration on a scale of one to ten Sounding an alarm when you must put down your pen It measures blood pressure, caffeine, and problems with the soup You can even program it to give a heads-up to your group The idea is to prevent the loss or graying of your hair And to keep expletives from fouling up the air To keep the cost down it comes in just one style Am working on a sporty model if you can wait awhile So-- If on the brink of insanity poetry makes you teeter You may want to try my trusted Fruspoemeter......

Well written and it made me laugh, perhaps because it hits close to home!! :) Almost sounds like a Frost Poe Meter too? No allusion to your favorite poets, or mine, lol :) well done.
