Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

A Permanent Funk

Been in a bit of a funk lately
Have I finally reached the end
No quatrains, couplets or narratives
No words of wisdom to send

At first I thought, oh I'll be back
Humming along as before
Don't get yourself in a great big flap
Lately I'm not quite so sure

Wishful thinking was part of it
It's lot more serious than I thought
The well's running dry, pretty sure
In a permanent funk I'm caught

Need a great event to inspire me
It's only a matter of time
I'll be back on track and zinging along
And once again I'll be fine

In no time at all I'll be smiling again
So why am I feeling so down
Feel like this old King of the Jesters
Is somehow losing his crown

Jack Ellison June 29, 2024 at 4:35 AM Your comments have it all figured out dear Lin... btw nice name... Lin Lane! Nope don't need all those things you mention... a walk in the early morn! Love those charming morning wake-up calls! Hugs from Canada xxx
