Before I even start
the words depart
and I'm left holding
'Rosemary's Baby'
okay
so maybe that's a bit strong
a tad wrong
I'll change it to
'left holding a fountain pen'

sadly the fountain pen is neither
gushing nor a fountain
and to tell the truth
if 'I climbed every mountain'
I'd be ******..oops fatigued.

things are getting mixed
She says
I need to get fixed and to
quit gawking at all the chicks
but to tell the truth
I really like
Kentucky Fried,

that'll do for me
time for a cup of coffee.
