Abstinence

ABSTINENCE!

August will be a Meme Free month! I won't follow a single one!*

There are so many other things in life that just have to be done!

Look at the dust beneath the beds! Look at the mail unwritten!

The trouble is, when I see a meme, I find I'm hooked, I'm smitten!

I've 'pre-ordained' my daily verse so I'll still keep in the swim,

But my output will be rather sparse, even verging on the slim.

I never cared for homework when I was a child at school,

So why, when I chance upon a meme, does 'Do it!' become the rule?

It's becoming an addiction! Is there a 'patch' for this?

Will August find me frustrated or living a life of bliss?

P.S I jumped the gun on this one, publishing it a day early. So I've republished it. I'm printing copies of the two very welcome Comments I've already had and zapped!

I'll miss you on meme's and look forward to September. I often wonder if I'm addicted (ha) as I don't miss one of the three I follow.
