Notes About The Poem

We all have interests. Things we do in our own time. These interests maybe super cool to you but may seem obscure to others. This poem attempts to relate those interests.

Javelin Catchers

What charms your whim, your fun,
Each day when you’re alone?
The things you ponder and get up to,
That’s not on the telephone.

Maybe you like duct tape art or
Collecting tea bag cloaks,
Or going around javelin catching with
Other javelin catching folks.

Maybe you carve egg shells,
Into beautiful greens and blues,
Or maybe you like to appear behind
Reporters when they’re on the news.

Are you the person that likes to moo
Convinced that you’re a cow?
Or are you the person that wants to be a cat
That loves to go meow?

I’d like to get together one day
And admire this theatrical poster,
And you could sit beside me, holding my hand,
Enjoying life’s roller coaster.
