The Stubborn Pen

A frustrated poet had a paralyzed pen.
She wailed, “When you will move,when!”
The pen with sad eyes,looked up in dismay
“Mistress,my brain cartridge is empty this day.”

She knew there were phone calls to be made.
Plus,had to hang up a lovely,new blue shade.
Clothes to be washed,her hungry cat to be fed.
So~she with joy, jumped out of her poetic dread.

Come on,Eve, I see you in contests all the time! For me, getting older is slowing me down a lot. But at my age most people are dead or in nursing homes. I do what I can. Pangie xx

Hi Linda, I just got this comment today 5/29 ? That’s a first)) there are things to do, illness, etc. our country going downhill but itsJulius Caeser’s fault? Listen to liberal news, that’s how they lie. It’s in no way the fault of Biden?like Nazi Germany. They lied to the Germans. Worse, people will never question a lying press. I am worried. Pangie xx

I’m the same Pangie, poetry or chores the poet’s pen always wins of course. I enjoyed the read this morning, now I must on as there’s so much to get done. Belle :)
