SUNSHINE

                                                                     (An Acrostic)

Summer, and the skies are blue,

Unless, of course, it rains on you!

Never mind, tomorrow's skies

Surely will bring a nice surprise.

Heavenly weather soothes the mind;

It helps a lot when life's unkind.

Nature blossoms in the sun

Energy floods through everyone.

WRITER'S BLOCK

It's happened to me in the past......

The ideas hit me thick and fast

When I am walking down the street

Or at the butcher's buying meat

Or giving pots and pans a scour

Or even soaking in the shower!

These are times I would not choose

To receive a visit from my Muse!

Sometimes it happens to me when

I haven't even got a pen,

Or even paper! Not a scrap.

And then my Muse, the poor old chap,

Decides, right there, that he's had enough

And leaves my brain in an awful huff.

Some time later, at my ease,

I'm at the computer saying 'Please!

Please return, beloved Muse!'

And, blow me, if he doesn't refuse!

I find he's given me the slip.

A very awkward relationship.

A thought-recorder's what I need.

And here and now I plant the seed,

Suggesting to technology

That it creates one just for me.

A thought-recorder would be new....

(No! Voice-recorders just wont do;

They're hard to activate I think

When ones hands are deep in the kitchen-sink!)

But the neatest invention of them all

Would be a service called 'Muse-On-Call.'
