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!

Good thing I don't need to worry about losing all my hair though... most of my hair is gone anyway ;) Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/17/2014 8:57:00 AM "most of my hair is gone anyway" hence the tuque!

Carol Eastman Date: 10/15/2014 2:42:00 PM 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...

Eileen Manassian Date: 10/14/2014 8:20:00 AM 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! ;) Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/14/2014 8:25:00 AM One of my worst fears is going bald!!!
