And every Friday morn
T'was a meeting in the office
Where the boss would blow his horn.

He was great and he was wonderful
And this is what we heard,
It was drummed into our noggins
til we're off our bloomin' bird.

It's true, he was a boaster,
He would boast the total sum,
One thing he said made sense,
Don't shave and you're a bum.

I equate that to the bard,
If one day you write no poem,
You can't call yourself a poet
If your head is made of foam.

Arise when rooster crows
Matters dot if your not home-
Just put your head together
and write yourself a poem. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 7 [informant] => norm [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

A Poem a Day

I'm a night owl, so I always write before I go to sleep, I can't sleep for the verses running through my head otherwise! Great write.

I banged my head upon the wall,
And there my brains 'ascattered.
I gasped when I seen this awesome mess,
a poem just never mattered.
I scooped,I toiled,I picked them up.
I gave them a quiet home.
In the garbage,there they went,
And outta my head popped a poem!!!
Lol! Angel always...godspeed...joni!
Thanks for the inspiration,Norm! {{{norm}}}
