Funny Poems & More
Dear reader, what am I to do?
Be practical? Or follow my passion?
I’ve done some self-discovery
(After all, it’s quite the fashion).
Oh, giving up the day job
Would be a dream come true
To write what I like (and get paid)
Well, that’s what I’d love to do!
Till a big break comes along
Sadly, a hobby this must stay
(I do need the reassurance
Of receiving regular pay!).
But who out there has done it?
Taken a leap, despite the doubt?
Feel free to share your wisdom
Tell me, how’s it working out?
I’ve done little writing of late
But you see, there is a reason
I’ve been re-watching Game of Thrones
Every episode, of every season.
I’m reliving all the scheming
The battles and beheadings
Secret deals, blood magic
And, of course, the weddings.
My re-watch has almost ended
Season Eight will soon be here
It’s sure to bring more drama
I may even shed a tear…
After the final credits have rolled
I’ll surely get back to writing
Although… I have yet to finish
Season Five of Vikings! 🤔
I procrastinate too much
It is quite sad, but true
When I should be writing
I find other things to do….
It may be loads of washing
Or giving clothes a press
It may be “retail therapy”
To look for a new dress.
Often, it’s planning meals
Or food shopping every day
(I’m good at procrasti-baking
We get lots of treats that way!)
I’ll find myself cleaning house
To banish dust and grime
I get hooked on social media
Oh, the time I waste online!
Often, I’ll spend hours
Sorting books and clothes
De-cluttering (yet again)
The time? Well it just goes…
Sometimes, I do knuckle down
Hoping to feel inspired…
But the words refuse to come
‘Cos by then, I’m far too tired!
