Notes About The Poem

8/4/2025 for Too Much Is Enough Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Too Much

Can one ever have too much of a good thing?
Can I squeeze out an answer, my brain to wring? 

Some folks will tell you I think too much, 
with little to show, 'cuz I'm out of touch.

Good food and drink should be taken in moderation. 
So, I'll stop trying to eat everything in creation.

Can one have too much sex?  Should it be my goal
to find out, or should I not touch that with a pole?

Can there be too much love?  Who'd be so hard-boiled
to say that?  My grandma, who says I'm spoiled. 

Can one laugh too much or go over the top?
If you're laughing at someone else, you should stop. 

I can't say what's too much!  Who am I to judge?
Time for my tenth piece of chocolate fudge.

I've yammered on and said "too much" too much. 
So, I'll shut my mouth, but let's keep in touch.

Very enticing bits of truth, Daniel. Your rhyming couplets were both fun and entertaining to read. Bill
