The Sneaky Ninja Wannabe

There once was a ninja named Dwight
who sneaked in my bedroom one night.
Bumping into my bed,
when he saw me, he said,
"I'd do better in here with some light!"

You had me smiling this morning Andrea. Cute one. Hey, I am sorry for that rotten man who did that to you. You wrote that poem from the heart and he had no right to make fun and post it without your permission. That makes me mad . Hugs phyl

Cute read! Still think you have me mixed up with another Susan, but I sure appreciate your comments.... My "blank" verse wasn't sposed to actually be blank verse..... I was punning. Nancy has a Scrabble contest going on where you need base a poem on a word you'd use in Scrabble if you had 7 blank letters... so I was having trouble (conflicted) about how to create a verse about her "blanks".....!!! Convoluted, not just conflicted, huh?
