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.
