The Inspiration Store

I'm looking for some inspiration Can you direct me to the Inspiration Store? Heard they've got some real good bargains Great ideas never used before! I don't often need to avail myself Of this vital and humanitarian service Been quite prolific in the last few years But now I'm feeling a wee bit nervous! It's five minutes before the midnight bell I've come up dry all the day long Utter panic has grabbed hold of my brain Thinking suicide would be wrong! There's other things besides poetry I'm told On this great big happy balloon But none so addictive as rhyming and rhythm It turns people into silly buffoons! The Inspiration Store has saved many people From utter and overwhelming despair So I guess I'll do a search on Google Maps Before I totally lose all my hair! © Jack Ellison 2014

How cool! I would visit that store quite a lot if it was close. Good thing I don't need to worry about losing all my hair though... most of my hair is gone anyway ;)

I see the inspiration store as my Hubby. I'd let you borrow him but you doing so great on your own... This morning he was talking about the equinox potato that he got to stand on one end... And then there was Potato Henge of Stone henge... And that was before his first cup of coffee... Unfortunately, I used them all for supper that night... Dragon and Hubby were NOT amused... but at least their tummies were full... LOL... Poor guys... I do try their patience...

Oh Kenny...it would be drastic if you lost your hair. One of the things I find so appealing about ya! I guess you found the store because here is the poem!!! :) There are SOME things better than poetry...although those things have rhythm as well! ;)
