Gather around,
and sit on down,
listen to a little ditty
all about a city
which was wiped out,
ain’t no doubt.
Except for one,
who decided to have fun
she jumped in her car to look around,
and took off like a speedy downtown.
Not a soul to be seen,
she felt just like a queen.
It all belonged to her!
She turned a corner,
while enjoying her fun,
and son-of-a-gun,
she ran into the other last person in town.
Now NOBODY is around.

Oh, I laughed aloud (I’ve sworn off internet abbreviations, or I’d say lol) to read this. What was the inspiration?
I have no idea! Between a vacation last weekend and getting hit with allergies I’ve been too tired to write. So I borrowed from my poems I wrote way-back-when when I worked at a movie theater. I wrote poems on napkins when I’d get bored. That was a long answer to say I don’t know! Thanks for reading – glad you liked it.
I don’t mean this as idle flattery, but do you publish these? Other than here, that is?
No. I used to write a lot but stopped writing poetry because I became frustrated at my limitations. One night, I had writer’s block and couldn’t write a blog. I threw an old poem in and received my biggest response. That’s why I started writing poetry again – though I’m never comfortable sharing. So, another long answer to say no.
Hm. A short answer to say, “you should”? 🙂
I know! Right?? Sis listen to Satis and publish your writing! 🙂
