I just knew I was sick as can be
there had to be something seriously wrong with me.
Of all the people that ever lived in history
no one has ever been quite as sick as yours truly.
Turns out my only malady
is a case of anxiety.
Really?
I thought for sure I was a goner, see,
And this diagnosis doesn’t exactly
help me.

Here I am
waiting, hating
the red light.
Wishing I
coulda, shoulda
taken a right.
Traffic is
going not slowing
in front of me.
I am here
slow, a no-go
and I want to be.
So red light
will you help me out?
I need to
make a left turn right now.
I am so
tired of being stuck here –
I need you
to give me the all clear.
This one change
will all begin with you
If you will
just turn and let me through.
Please let me
be on my way
and leave all
this to yesterday.
Here I am
waiting, hating
the red light.
Wishing I
coulda, shoulda
taken a right.

So she taped a note to the door
and it said –
“Hello, my old friend!”
I say, “It’s good to see you again.”
She looks with wide eyes
and her slack-jaw says surprise.
Alarm number 1 beeps
and I hit the snooze.
Then clock number 2
starts singing the blues.
Baby, there’s no maybe
when I say I love you.
And maybe, baby,
if you love me, too –
It’s me, saying my night prayer
and sending it urgently up to there.
A hard task is in front of me –
I can’t avoid it or let it be. Continue reading
I heard the news just the other day,
my good friend from junior high days,
had to leave his family,
he had to go away.
In honor of Dr. Seuss’ 108th birthday
I am a rhyming fool today.
So, here is my day in review
Told in mini-Seussisms for you.
