Easily Distracted

Is it that time gets away from me Or that every second has its own story to tell And that my circuits get overloaded at times? In truth, some seconds are astounding: Like when the illegal 'Dragon's Claws' I bought From a firework's stand on the Kansas-Oklahoma border, Gutted a traditional Folgers coffee can, (It never left the ground) , and then its brother Blasted a heavy metal water bucket At least 40 feet into the air! Wow! Talk about 'poetry in motion! ' Most theorists are poets too you know, With their 'Big Bang' theories and 'Laws of Nature' emerging over time! Eventually, we all have to deal with What some distant poet first called 'the opposite sex! ' But it is so much easier to explain Creation I think! But can anyone say why men love explosions?
