The Blues

Sitting here alone again:
watching Mash!!
I know, but what the heck.
It’s still a smash, 
just as it was then.
The highlight of my day;
discounting watching
the cats at play.
So free–
they seem to be.
But then, who am I to say?
My big concern
sadly to learn
in my present state of demise.
Is how to crease 
this solo piece
and have some left 
to wipe my eyes.

Hi Charles, nice to know you: A good but poignant poem about being alone by the tv tube. Assuming we're in the same age group, Perhaps you should watch something a little more fantasizing and consider writing another poem the next day as if were your daily exercise.
