I Can’t Write a Poem Forget it! You must be kidding!

All I have is a dumb list of excuses. You like it? Really ? No kidding. Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

Keep a Poem in Your Pocket And a picture in your head And you’ll never feel lonely At night when you’re in bed. The little poem will sing to you The little picture will bring to you A dozen dreams to dance to you So… Keep a picture in your pocket And a poem in your head At night when you’re in bed. ~by Beatrice Schenck
