Never joke about poetry.  Never.  It's a curse!


          Rhyming Doubles Bubble Troubles

          Come help! My mind's a-bubble.
          It's poetry's the trouble.
          Each morning as I wake
          I haven't dared to spake.
          It all comes out a jumble
          every rhyme just seems to tumble
          from my ever churning brain.
          The best, I'll never hear again.
          I go stumbling for some paper
          and a modern writing taper
          scribble frantically the train
          of words springing from my brain.
          But.  As I write, it's gone.
          Getting paper took too long.
          Yes, I write. I like the new bit.
          It's just, the first would be a hit.
          Oh!  Wait!  I've just been smitten!
          Go away until it's written.
