My Friend the Wall

My friend the wall has once again come to call.
The sound it makes when I make mistakes.
Is really no sound at all.
It's there to hear the words I write.
Whether during the day or late at night.
The blankness of it's eggshell stare.
Reminds me that there's no one there.
It's up to me to speak this time.
Could speak plainly, but prefer rhyme.
Yes my friend the wall has come to call.
And so I'll answer it and give my all.

I do believe you could rhyme your way through life. There are so many "cool" ones in the comments and if you took it a bit farther you would have the whole poem. I've often thought how great you are with anything you want to say; seems so easy for you to do it and always feels good when I read them! :)
