My Pen Says Goodnight

This is the last poem I'll ever write Please don't look at me strange After this write, my pen says goodnight I'm off to my Maker, Home on the Range Please don't look at me strange It's not up to me as to when I depart I'm off to my Maker, Home on the Range It's time to leave when he unplugs my heart It's not up to me as to when I depart So this poem had better be incredibly good It's time to leave when he unplugs my heart I'd like to go out on a high note, I really would So this poem had better be incredibly good The rhymes have to rhyme, the meter not teeter I'd like to go out on a high note, I really would With a blue-ribbon winner, so you'll want to fete her The rhymes have to rhyme, the meter not teeter After this write, my pen says goodnight With a blue-ribbon winner, so you'll want to fete her This is the last poem I'll ever write...

G'day Gershon … the art of repetitive lines lives well in your verse Gershon. I enjoyed the topic also - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Very funny, TC... I picture what you wrote kind of like going down the bowling lane with fingers stuck in the ball. Ouch! ~ gw

Only when I write an incredibly good poem---nowhere near there yet, I'm afraid. ~ Still trying! ~ gw

Sorry my friend, this poem isn't incredibly good so I think you better stick around a little bit longer and keep writing. I mean, if that is your terms...just saying. : ) Ok, it was incredibly good but just not good enough so you need to hang out longer.

When I stop laughing at this (incredible) comment, then I will say: 'Goodnight, Chris.' ... (Not to EVER take me too seriously; except for the point that I actually make, which some will miss: Just to write every poem as if it's our last one, to try to make each one shine)… Best always, Gershon
