PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Christmas is close and all is well in the world

or so I would like to think

and I would be fully convinced of this if it were not for

the residue of my recent illness in the bathroom sink

as well as if it were not for so much toasting to good

cheer

I would not find myself standing but not quite standing

here

happy was the spirit where now so sore sleeps the heart

an over rated organ at best

for putting my will power to such an unpassable test

a quick retort for my so deserved predicament

lay on the tip of my tongue

but its taste for me is just a little too tart

I've become lost to the bathroom and none too willingly

self given to the dead

why is it that when I try to move anywhere about this

tiny room a Ban saw roars loudly in my head

my pain speaks plainly enough for me

and oh so very appropriately that may I sin to add

I would not be so sick and angry if it were not for

the too good of time that night before I had..........
