Flat Nothin'
Little scraps of paper litter my desk
fractured thoughts like half-baked beans
the blue screen of death is taunting me
I’m thinkin "shotgun" for my misery
Sticky notes stuck to my monitor screen
jean pockets full of washed out ink
unintelligible scribbles on the palm of my hand
and I don't got a thing that don't stink
Here and there a wayward glimmer
of maybe something to say
but it was only an inkling that lost its own way
a fart in the wind so to say
So I sit like a bump on a stump on my rump
and wish I could write me a line
and I wait and I pray and I curse, but . . .alas -----
Oh wait! -– something’s coming at last!
Oh. more gas.
