I Lost It!


As I was driving to school
this morning, the beginnings
of a poem began to jiggle inside
my head.

It started to take on a life of
it's own. I kept on repeating it
until it sounded just right.

As I often do, I sang it over
and over to check that each word
perfectly added to the rhythm.

It was pretty good, I thought.
Of course it was pure nonsense.
Wonderful, I thought, it should
make a few people smile.

When I got to school, silly me,
I didn't write it down straight
away. A few hours later, at lunch time
I got out my small notebook to write.
But where was the poem?

I had lost it!

So, this will be all you will
be getting from me today!

Joy Weare.
15th February, 2005.
