OH TO BLOG

Blog Posted:11/17/2022 5:22:00 PM

Oh, to blog,

Let slip the fetters of un-questions

That must remain un-answered

 

To dabble in the realm of prophets

Poetically pontificate, and thus

Know it is folly to do such

 

To test the DNA of the N/A

write again another day

of love and lust and trampled hay

 

Oh, to blog

To hold the laser pointer

Drive the cat insane

 

to be at one

With words and pen

To tempt the muse…..and then
