I Wanna Write a Poem

I wanna write a poem,
but I ain't got no pen;
I'll sit here lookin' stupid,
my patience is wearin' thin!

I wanna write a poem,
but I ain't got no paper;
"Brain fart's" my middle name,
that's my latest caper!

I wanna write a poem,
but I ain't got no words;
Perhaps I'll go to the litterbox,
an' count the kitty's turds!

I wanna write a poem,
but I ain't got no hope;
My chances are slim to zero,
maybe I'll call the Pope!

I wanna write a poem,
I'm runnin' outta gas;
Guess I'll go to the bathroom,
Ideas are stuck in my..."BLEEP!!"

Milton. Welcome home. You're here a few minutes and already brightening the day. Glad to see your sense of humor is intact. Hey the bathroom is not the place to go when you're running out of gas. It's the place to go when the tank is full. I know. I'm 63, so I'm never running on empty. God Bless. Vince
