Slowing Down and Staying on Top!! (Hey Michael...)

We’re told often by our elders, brothers,
sisters, aunties, employees, others,
to slow down and smell the roses
but what a problem that this poses!

The computer simply isn’t helping
and I wouldn’t be doing all this yelping
if the ‘puter would think as fast as me
when I comprise my poetry.

What? you say, there are buttons for that?
Like spellcheck, thesaurus, things like that?
But if I don’t post things fast enough
Michael will stay on top and that’s rough!

You see, there are those comedians out there
who write with such a fervant flair
they only want to see their name on top
and they get help from the cream of the crop.

Now, I’d rather read some serious poetry
Comedy Central I can get on TV!
[but who do I think I’m really kidding?...
where else could I go to see such ribbing?]

The fair-thee-well’s are too numerous to mention
heaven only knows, they don’t need more attention!
Like children all who play, skip and hop...
at least for the moment, I’m now on top.

I be dammed if I’ll play your game
Its not, of what, we are here for
But your words, "they make me smile"
And for a while
It’s fine, so, to the top
Don’t stop
And make my sun, this morning, shine!

Well of course Michael still has the lead, but I'm a sucker for underdogs, so...
