Deal Killer Soup
Nancy, I assure you I do not need to look up Google
I am going through a deal killer right now, it’s invasive and toxic
It is filling my brain till it is about to explode
I cannot do what I should, instead I am doing this
Pen to paper, with words flying left and right
Meals missed, work and deadlines never ever done
Words swirling around in my brain driving me nuts
Not pen to paper with work, but instead crazy poetic words
Screaming at me, let me out, let me out, I must escape
These challengers set by you and others, poems to read and write
Discipline, a treasured word that has suddenly got up and run away
Now all I want to do is write verse and with you all happily play
Deal Killer, Yes Deal Killer, this broad needs to earn a crust of bread
Why am I so addicted, you’re a siren, alluring driving me mad
I’m not that witty or erudite, like so many clever folks like you
Simple verse, uncomplicated, somewhat corny, oh dear Boo Hoo
Deal Killer this certainly is, its invasive, all other work set aside
Poetry Soup, my life is in shatters I’m now so hooked on you.
