A Poet's Life

A Poet's life
   is free of strife
   No deadlines at his doorstep

   It's only that
   the 'boss' he works for
   is such a demanding chap

Quite true.... ! Poets have no deadlines to meet.... ! It leaves them greatly relaxed !

I agree, Valsa. Yawn... A little too relaxed, perhaps, in my case. (Not that I'm really a poet or anything). :) gw
