Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

The Nagging Wife (Tag Game)

My wife just keeps nagging
"You've got work to do"
I say, honey, can't it wait
Til my poem is through?

She says, "You're writing again?,
That's all you get done"
I don't think she realizes
That poetry is fun

"Words, words, words
That's all you ever think"
"You even wrote one. 
Telling people I stink"

"There's work around here
That you've somehow missed"
"But I'll make you out
Another, Honey do list"

I think I'm an artist
But she just don't know it
So I'll tell her once more
That, I am a poet

(For the Tag Game, I am a Poet, passed to me by John Loving iii, I pass it to Ralph Taylor)

John Loving Iii April 13, 2010 at 11:20 AM JACKPOT!!!! i told yall i had a poet that would fit the bill!! Now Larry , the next step is that you have to TAGG someone else. preferably some one with tallent. put the Tag at the end of your piece so everyone knows who it is and where to go to follow the game. and dont forget to mintion that your tag came from me.
