A Sad Switch story to unveil;
Where it took me; what it said;
Begs me ask you all instead…..

If you had an extra switch;
That you could press, or turn, or twitch;
To pump it up; or make it lack;
Or shut if off, or bring it back;
Make it fast; or slow it down;

Change the color; or the sound;
Make it taller, wider, shorter;
Make it your way in short order;
Make it spin, or stretch, or pour;
Wonder what you’d use it for?

Would you put a sign on it:
So everyone could play with it?
Or would you hide it well away
For fear of what the neighbors say?

If you had a little switch;
That could scratch most any itch;
Wonder when you got the knack;
How fast you'd want to change things back!

Imagine if we all could do;
Everything we wanted to;
We would need a switch-off truce;
To curb our unintended use!

Then the police would come one day;
And take your little switch away!
Well, so much for having fun;
Thanks Muppetman- this poem is done! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 100 [topic] => 69 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => poets )

Here's a Switch

How do you do this writing at will thing? That always impresses me! Very cute poem indeed. My switch that I have been working on for around ten years now is an emotion switch. When completed it will only have one use. To switch the emotions on and off. I will become world famous and rich beyond all compare....even the Trumpmesiter! And then...then I won't need it. Thank you, as always, for a wonderful read. Sir Tim

Great poem. I feel honored that I maybe inspired such a wonderfully philosophical and absurdly witty poem.
I like simplicity; strangely the more simple things get
the more life itself becomes gloriously unorthodox and
beautifully varied.

This is a real gem!

Peace!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
