Notes About The Poem

There's a game I'd like to play

but hammered from an insane day

of smiling at crazies and calming them down



If brain cells were firing I'd start with a poem

my soul would roam wistfully gleefully home

where me and the muse would dress up for the town



Unfortunately it's been one helluva day

and all my tired brain cells coherently can say

is

Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick.

Three To Go

There's a game I'd like to play
but hammered from an insane day
of smiling at crazies and calming them down

If brain cells were firing I'd start with a poem
my soul would roam wistfully gleefully home 
where me and the muse would dress up for the town

Unfortunately it's been one helluva day
and all my tired brain cells coherently say
is
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick.

Fun verse Nancy, don't we all have those days but your twist at the end makes it special.
