That Day My Whacky Words Dried Up

Never say never
I was still laughing,
still having a blast 
giving my two cents 
on what’s hip and what’s not
little did I know
it’s so not me
that’s definitely not my calling…

Wearing my hat half skew on my head
jeans so baggy
I almost tripped
thinking I look so fly
only thing missing was my rhymes
“whasup my peeps!! how’s things rolling?”
silly me!

Should have seen those quizzical expressions
as if to say, err what the hell or who the hell are you trying to be
silly me!
thinking to myself…

What to say next when you silence a room?
earth open up and swallow me whole
it happened that day my whacky words dried up!!

It is ruff when we are left speechless when we need just the precise answer..Jesus never had that problem and I believe the closer that we get the more help we can have in that area...I like the way you think(the comment that you made on my Limerick)...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara

Been there and done that, Wilma. Brought a smile to my face as I pictured you screwing your hat on. Keep up the good work. God Bless, Cile

This is very excellent. I like the flow of the words and the message. The images are quite hilarious. This could be the beginning of a comic strip. Great job! Joseph
