I never read the instructions.<\/p>\n
If you really need to know it, they will repeat it<\/p>\n
Ever since Grade One<\/p>\n
I was the Clueless One.<\/p>\n
My alarm tells me the Marathon is ON!<\/p>\n
Wow! \u00a0Wizzer! \u00a0How do you do!<\/p>\n
Here I AM! \u00a0Where’s the Friggin Prompt?<\/p>\n
Whatever that is, for corn sakes.<\/p>\n
I NEVER \u00a0read the instructions.<\/p>\n
If you need to know it, they will repeat \u00a0it,<\/p>\n
or pin it to your shirt.<\/p>\n
Maybe the prompt is in the bag with my lunch.<\/p>\n
The MaRathon is ON ON ON!<\/p>\n
Once again the clueless one<\/p>\n
Will have to make my own Rules.<\/p>\n
They didn’t say it had to be a GOOD one.<\/p>\n
That FIRST one.<\/p>\n
That Poem One.<\/p>\n
Even the alarm quit.<\/p>\n
Nobody’s here to ask.<\/p>\n
Hmmm.<\/p>\n
(What do they expect on two hours sleep?)<\/p>\n
Dang it. \u00a0Where’s that friggin prompt?<\/p>\n
WHERE’S THAT FRIGGIN FIRST FRIGGIN PROMPT?!?<\/p>\n
As of crafting verse wasn’t hard enough at friggin DAWN!<\/p>\n
And nobody else has the grumps and sleep IN THEIR EYES!<\/p>\n
Well, here’s that poem, cheerful ones.<\/p>\n
I wrote it, Nyah!<\/p>\n
I ARE A PARTICIPANT<\/p>\n
And by MY \u00a0rules……………<\/p>\n
(Ahem)<\/p>\n
Clueless Won!<\/p>\n
