The Source of My Inspiration

I sit inside the hot tub, As naked as can be; Waiting for inspiration To come and visit me. They first appear as words, In my head all alone; Then I rush inside and type them On the computer as a poem. Sometimes they are a verse, With a metered spoken beat; Sometimes they are song lyrics, With my musical tapp’n feet I may get out of the water All wrinkled like a raisin, But to cure my writer’s block, The hot tub I’m a praise’n.

Words come unbidden without a care for where or when! The best lines often evaporate due to ill timing. I get this, probably most, if not all, of Soup would relate to this. You gained my grin by lifting me with this cute write. All the best ... CayCay

good one Joe, mine usually pop into my head while I relax in front of the t.v., causing me to miss the end of most of the shows I intended to watch.
