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 Date: 2/26/2022 4:03:00 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. Login to Reply

Valsa George Date: 2/24/2022 11:47:00 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 ! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/25/2022 12:40:00 PM Your senses are keen, Valsa. There IS some humor and AND some truth in this one. Thanks, Gershon

L Milton Hankins Date: 2/24/2022 9:15:00 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. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/25/2022 7:29:00 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
