Have Sympathy
Contest poem near done
You think this is the one
Missing one line
Running out of time
Got an hour to mail
You’re sweating like hell
WRITER’S BLOCK!
The wedding all done
Reception was fun
Everything’s nice
Throwing the rice
In climbs your sweetie
You get into your seatie
CAR’S OUT OF GAS!
The audience all seated
Announcer has greeted
The guitar all tuned
You’re all groomed
A ballad you wrote
Play the first note
BREAK THE “E: STRING!
Guests coming at six
The dinner to fix
Meal is all planed
It’ll be grand
In oven at four
As you shut the door
POWER GOES OUT!
Been planning all year
Packed all your gear
Three days on the hunt
Don’t want a runt
See a trophy at trot
So you take a shot
NO SHELLS IN GUN!
A bad feeling inside
There’s nowhere to hide
Need a rest room
About to go boom
Run down the hall
Must have a stall
ALL OCCUPIED!
