Fancy-Free For Me

On the theme of fancy-free I’ve no rules attached to me Can write of nonsense if I choose Or use a hippo as my muse Can write all day or not at all Or script about a bar room brawl It’s fun to sometimes play the clown With no constraints to weight me down

I like this poem, Mike. A philosophy of life that appeals to me...and, I think, many poets.
