My Fruspoemeter
I've got a clever new invention in the works
Going to make a fortune when I work out a few quirks
It's no bigger that a breadbox and lighter than a feather
It's easily transported and is not affected by the weather
It measures poetry frustration on a scale of one to ten
Sounding an alarm when you must put down your pen
It measures blood pressure, caffeine, and problems with the soup
You can even program it to give a heads-up to your group
The idea is to prevent the loss or graying of your hair
And to keep expletives from fouling up the air
To keep the cost down it comes in just one style
Am working on a sporty model if you can wait awhile
So--
If on the brink of insanity poetry makes you teeter
You may want to try my trusted Fruspoemeter......
