Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

I Can'T Type Anymore

I can't type anymore
  My fingers are sore
from typing too many poems

So I'm buying a boat
  I pedal, it floats
My fingers in lotion I'll stow 'em

Who wants to be tired
  Caffeine keeps me wired
Tell the literati that I will show 'em

How to escape
  sans Houdini-black cape
With a DIY cruise on the ocean

Jennifer Proxenos February 26, 2022 at 4:03 AM I think only what my husband always says will cure us all 'REHAB.' But which of us would swap poetry for a world cruise, well maybe a short world cruise but what about all the things on the boat, and ports you stop at and people you meet, bingo there goes our holiday, out with a notebook and pen. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Caren Krutsinger February 25, 2022 at 8:18 PM A do it yourself cruise might be harder on your finger than typing poems Gershon! Are you sure?

Swetha Vangaveti February 25, 2022 at 2:51 AM Though fingers are tired, I still can't stop myself! Is that an addiction? Well, let it be, I like it though. Lol.

Valsa George February 24, 2022 at 11:47 PM I feel the ache in digit ends pressing the keys down . The letter 'y' doesn't always go down. Though written in a half humorous vein, I can sense some truth here, Gershon ! Gershon Wolf February 25, 2022 at 12:40 PM Your senses are keen, Valsa. There IS some humor and AND some truth in this one. Thanks, Gershon

L Milton Hankins February 24, 2022 at 9:15 PM Gosh, I certainly can relate to this one, gw. Sometimes my wrists flare up. I think it's carpal tunnel from spending too much time at the keyboard. Gershon Wolf February 25, 2022 at 7:29 AM I hope it's not too painful, Milt. I have it in my left wrist only, kind of a permanent swelling. I've done nothing about it, of course. Why fix it? It still works. ~ Fool that I am
