Confessions of a Knucklehead

All things can tempt me~ I'm a scatter brain Trying to focus causes me such pain Distracted by a treat or herbal tea The slightest sounds arouse and amuse me So easy to sway my concentration Toying with mindless laws of attraction My attention spins often on a dime It doesn't take much for me to waste my time That's why I prefer to ignore the phone And keep working on building me a clone Submitted on February 18, 2020 for contest “ALL THINGS CAN TEMPT ME” sponsored by BETH EVANS

Hahahaha! The last line is perfect. Well done. I think we're all scatter brains at times. Clones would be great but they'd all have to have their own computers.

After you finish your clone, I would like one too. I have eighteen dollars and seventeen cents toward it already.

You made me smile Line and you would make a million if you can build clones - or could you just create another pair of hands - that would suit me some days lol:-) hugs Jan xx
