Limerick

Or, why I don't write poetry, but my defences are all down the drain.

I was ordered to work a night shift,
like a bicycle off in a skiff
so I haven't much sleep
and my thoughts do they creep
in search of a comfortable drift.

That's very....
unlike most of your entries?
Poor Zhoen. Hope you grab some sleep soon. As a chronic insomniac, you have my sympathy.

Well, it made me laugh, which is a good enough reason to write poetry!

The limerick is surely fine form
When life goes along in the norm.
But you need a nap,
So cut out the crap
And go find yourself a good dorm.

Oh, sheesh, that would be why I don't write poetry!

Love it.

Hope you get back on balance soon.Look after yourself, zhoen.

I think the novel is your forte, zhoen.

Ha!
Because it certainly ain't poetry. True, true. Not to worry, I only do limericks. And that rarely. I blame it on my friend Vicky, and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. (The NPR News quiz.)
