Notes About The Poem

for the Couplet Contest sponsored by Karen Jones

Disorderly Conduct

Dear Karen, there’s something I need:
I’ve got you a poem to read.

A deficit in one’s attention
is probably best left unmentioned.

If boring writes get you distracted,
my outcome’s adversely impacted.

For when the dear reader is addled,
strong placements just up and skedaddle.

Before you’ve a chance to retort,
just know that I’m keeping it short.

Disorder escapes its confines
perusing these final two lines!
