When was the last time you fell in the water
Drank from a glass that was christened with wine
Jumped on a mattress of Hollywood fodder
Snuffed out a candle before it was time

Ran in a circle with never an ending
Sat in a chair where the arms were too tall
Straightened an accent of far eastern trending
Dialed a phone without someone to call

Climbed up a hill that was flat as a table
Sang in the key of an unopened lock
Found that your nightmare was only a fable
Started to roll but forgot how to rock

Wrote out a poem that everyone hated
Hid in a corner where spiders would play
Answered a question your heart had negated
Rented a room but had no place to stay

These are just words of a mind without sleeping
Some are confusing and some they are not
Please do not ask why this poem I’m keeping
There is no reason or I just forgot

Sometimes this happens and words start a’ flowing
Making no sense but who cares at this time
Anne did the same with her practice piece showing
Just a collection of words that may rhyme

I have been known for the love I have written
So I must add a few lines that are true
This may be crazy, but know I am smitten
Nonsense is nonsense but I do love you
