I think there is a real art to packing so much punch into so few words. Did you get those feet to move? Goodnight Mo...I have trouble moving my feet sometimes.XO

I love the first line, "what is this." I hope it was meant to be funny because it made me laugh out loud. Great poem, too!

Awesome you made me laugh out loud! I never get very far from my own sense of humour; there was a however twisted and possibly probably self depricating laughing at myself moment when and for which that was penned.
