As I was blog hopping I happily landed at SRA's blog. SRA and friends have started a group on facebook that has a common objective of writing on a particular theme each week. That was just what I needed to get back to blogging. I was also exposed to different styles of thinking and writing. It got me trying my hand at a bit of poetry. Something I had not done for a very long time. An edited version ....
What Nonsense !
I cannot do with all this fuss
I went to meet the
Octopus
Extra arms I need to borrow
To multi-task from ‘morrow
And so I return with four more pairs
Slowly climbing up the stairs
This will make my work so easy
The kitchen top will ne’er be greasy
Cut, braid and pack
in one go
The arms will glide in graceful flow
Alas, co-ordination was such a strain
The cheese sandwich went down the drain
The wiping mop went into the box
And lass’ braids were tied with socks
The Creator watched this with disdain
To think I equipped them with better brain !
So much thought in their design
Yet, all they do is
cry and whine
And, what a waste of
the effort I took
For them to while away time on facebook ?
