If You Weren'T Such a Nut Meg

She had so many chances Yet she kept muffin it up Butter intentions were good Just not much coffee in her cup Couldn’t make a good decision Too much waffling back and forth Always peppered with doubt Should she head south, no maybe north Still, she was fun at a party I would say, hummus a tune She’d say, "Icing because I’m happy" As the words began to croon Maybe that’s what’s most important Omelet let her off the hook So she’s always in a pickle Doesn’t do things by the book Once again, I’m gonna help her Since she is such a good egg I said, girl, you’d go much farther If you weren’t such a nut Meg

She must be a Libra! So glad I clicked on this. The contest was cancelled, but this still won in so many ways, just like it did for me as I read it. An absolute delight! Go in a good way ... CayCay

Hi Mike , what an exceptional write . Truly sublime in an easy rhythm. I think all of us can identify with a Meg in our lives, so comically typical . Youre gifted and reached no 2 on best neq poems. Congratulations. All the best
