July 28th

Suddenly everything else is more important

Whilst I’m looking for rhyming reinforcement

I cannot focus or realign my mind

Days are on fast forward but I’m in rewind

I fighting hard to keep inspiration

During my writers assimilation

Instead of sitting down and being absorbed

Into writing of memories filed and stored

I find myself doing something else instead

Like flicking through TV or the worldwide web

I’ve re-alphabetised my CD collection

And studied the basic laws of convection

I’ve polished laced and cleaned my shoes

As the written word fails to enthuse

I’ve cleaned the oven and washed up crockery

I’ve designed my own rock and roll rockery

I need to get the chimney re-pointed

As my written word has become disjointed

Before my day is recalled fully

I need to take the bobbles of off anything woolly

I cleaned food cupboard and stacked tins neatly

Whilst ignoring my written work indiscreetly

I need to get back in the writers mindset

And press my alt control and delete to reset

I’ll take back the mantle and the onus

And reap the benefits of my idle bonus
