Poems are Pointless<\/p>\n
Fast, quick get pen to paper,
\nDon\u2019t hang around we won\u2019t have the time later.
\nJust write the words, anything will do,
\nThe beautiful of life is the chance to re-do.<\/p>\n
Words are meaningless so just throw them down,
\nYou\u2019ll be a lyrical genius or maybe a clown.
\nThe eye of the beholder is what it\u2019s all about,
\nYou may get lucky and they\u2019ll be a lout.
\nCaution to the wind, ignore the spelling mistakes,
\nWe all work off word and spell checker\u2019s great.<\/p>\n
The poem is for reading so just make it short,
\nThe time barely matters it\u2019s just a cohort.
\nEnjoy yourself and just take the mick,
\nI bet you my word this is the best they will pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
