How Can I Get My Lost Frenzy Back?

These fingers were as restless as a virile runner doing miles around the fileld, never getting tired; that young atlete must have been me... pounding the keybord's keys and writing another night away! How can I get my lost frenzy back? I get home at a quarter to one, fix myself a cup of sweet tea, hoping to fall asleep in an hour, then glued to the computer screen, I write another poem and enter a new contest; and before I glance back at the clock, it's already five o' clock a. m. and constantly yawning, I moan with malcontent! Only once, I promised myself to take a break and let my fingers rest; and that promise I broke with an incredible urge: the very next day, I went back... with the slowness of a hunch-back, knowing that I had lied to myself... I didn't regret my cheating on my weary fingers! How could I have done such a naughty thing to them? And now, I am typing very slowly as if I am having a writer's block, they are punishing me for being too unfair! Oh, I should have shown a little pity for them, let them relax an entire week...forgetting they existed; and they would have appreciated my concern and kindness!

Our fingers do need breaks at times, Andrew. When I went for my teacher certificiation, they had to do a fingerprint test. They kept repeating mine because the lines on the fingers had been so worn down from all the typing. Still, it's hard to stay away from the computer. Enjoyed your witty poem, Andrew! Love, Carolyn
