A NOTE TO A POET




Words streaming from my quill
Tumbling over in their haste
To be the first past the post
Not a letter to waste
Frolicking, tripping over, in glee
Weaving their webs of fantasy.

Who, I ask, is the one to blame
That mussed up my orderly existence
Castles burning, fireman's phone ringing
Madding me in its persistence.
O what ails me, this curious affliction
No doctor here claims jurisdiction!

Waking dreams, scattered wits,
Dear me! What a pity
But better be slain by poetitice, I say
Than perish of creative depravity!

Please send forth a prescription to alleviate the symptoms of this contagious addiction. .....
