Off the Top of My Head

Off the top of my head and in a blink of an eye, wanted to write a poem that was on the tip of my tongue, Meantime was having a brain fart and pulling my hair out, didn't want to sound cheeky or put my foot in my mouth, So bought "Poetry for Dummies" which cost an arm and a leg, and wanted to foot the entire bill, while dining out with some friends, One friend said I paid through the nose, while another was lecturing an earful, another's comments raised eyebrows, said I shoulder it and be more responsible, I thought they used to be so hip, as I sat with butterflies in my stomach, I thought of wringing their necks, or telling them to button their lips, So I told them to stop stepping on my toes, that I always kept abreast of my money, then realizing I'd forgotten my wallet, ended up feeling just like a donkey.
