1001 Dalmatians

I posted my one thousandth poem,
And this is one thousand and one.
Although I’ve not quite hit my limit,
At least for today, I am done!

I think I might have a few keepers
But trashy ones? There’s a lot more.
Perhaps I should focus on content
And stop keeping track of the score.

I think that’s a lot of dalmatians
Or maybe it's dammits instead
My sleep deprivation runs rampant
But bedtime brings loathing and dread.

You’re stuck with me, ‘cuz I’m a lifer.
The Lord only knows just how long.
It’s possible I’m out tomorrow, 
Or a hundred and still going strong.

Right now, I just know I am tired;
My eyelids are starting to droop.
I bid a good night or good morning
To the friends I have met at the soup!

Jeff I look forward to each spot of poetry you bring.Your title reminds me of an occasion I took my grandson of about two to target.Hey Mason , what is the name of this movie I asked.101 damnations his confident reply.Yeah I bet it would be for the one cleaning up after them.Get some rest.
