I sat here for a long long while
hoping my brain would adjust to the style
of writing a poem that I was in need
to fill my quota but how to proceed
for I had no poetry in my brain
no words of wisdom to explain
nothing to say no words to respond
not a thing here that would belong
on this page along with the rest
some of which is my very best
so instead of a rhyme to pass the day
no words of wisdom that I can say
I will sign off and the reason why
although I tried it just would not fly
and so dear reader I gave it my best
but obviously I must give it a rest
and write a verse on a different day
when my brain works in a better way.

From Bj: You are an absolute riot!! I don’t know anyone else who would be able to write a poem about why they were not able to write a poem.
That is the way my brain works, all messed up…
