Sitting waiting
Contemplating
Now debating
What to be saying
A gentlemen suggests
I should be a creating
Something to present
How elating!
But what if my skill was killed
And fading?
Mentally taming
Essentially maiming
My energy (now deflating)
How degrading!
But my frown's not staying
This must be fun
To be relating
While exhaling
Size inflating
Eyes dilating
Surprise! I rise
with This Yellow Paper

I was at an open mic and an elderly gentlemen suggested I write a poem on the spot to perform. I didn't know he was kidding... It was still worth it.
