Poems Just Happen

Poems happen all day long All you need do is observe No need to rack your li'l old brain Soon have a bunch in reserve Your brain will be on overload Fingers will pound the keys Illusive thoughts will pop right in You'll probably need to pee Won't believe how easy they'll come Poems will literally flow Body will start to shimmy and shake Tremble right down to your toes But one thing please be careful of Take a break every now and then Your overtaxed brain will get all mushy And drive you round the bend Just a bit of friendly advice How I see it for what it's worth Everything in moderation, my friends Your life will be filled with mirth

such a delightful, dear Jack. I agree, poems abound if one is observant...I agree...too much of even something as beautiful as poetry can overtax and stress even the most dedicated of us. Balance is the key for sure! Thanks for sharing your mirth with us. Have a splendid day, Sara
