A chapter in the book Random Rhyme and Petty Prose
Type Until It's Poetry
by Bill Schott
I started typing Monday morning,
hoping that creativity might be
coaxed from its cave.
Noting that the coffee supplies were low,
I pondered whether someone else was
drinking my Joe.
A story about mowing the grass
appeared on my screen.
It reflected the reality of having
too many lawns to mow.
Posting it, I began on that
second allowable submission.
Rod Serling appeared and
began speaking to someone.
Someone said that the Detroit Tigers
lost yesterday's game to the Razorbacks.
I found that odd, since one was a
professional baseball team
and other a college team from Arkansas.
They actually lost to the Diamondbacks,
who are snakes, and also named after one.
Let's end with a quick rhyme:
Please forgive this random write,
I need to get more sleep at night.
