Why do I sit here With no sleep tonight The table is bare I’m pulling my hair Why do I write True it's been said I write with my head But then there’s the time I give it a shot With words and a rhyme Why do I sit here Am I so selfless and true I could be sleeping and dreaming Of no other but you Why do I sit here Why do I write... There’s a page and a pen 'neath my pinochio nose My rib cage I'm quite thin It predominatly shows Why am I hurting I don’t eat when I write And evidently there’s proof There’ll be No sleep tonight A poem is artwork Framed on a page I said, “Captain Kirk, your poems are bitter I can feel your rage. He said I was dreaming And then he was beaming So I woke to the table and the hard-back old chair Where my page is erect and so thoughtfully bare I like french poodles I have one he smells He’s dirty He’s rude Did I not say he’s a french poodle Listen next time So I draw on my page little french doggie doodles They don’t really rhyme My poetry is stick figgers at least doodling so far Say, one with bum leg watch out for that car I think of sweet lady She can always inspire I add mini-skirts To stick peoples attire Why do I sit here Why do I write I hope that you see To please all of Thee Is my Sincerest delight WOW Look what I’ve done I think that I've wrote To add modestly The mentioned above Is yours for a quote (this was fun patooey) [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 10-02-2000).] |

I'm not going to ask you why, but just tell you that I enjoy what you write, as I did this!!  Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Walt I think it's sweet that your wife inspires you. And the thought of drawing stick figures, and then thinking of her and adding lil skirts on them, is soooooo sweet! A bit of humor, a bit of seriousness as well. Gotta love a walt-a-roo poem! |

All right so... I'm not real clear on this "Why" and "here" thing. Your name is "WayOut" isn't it..? So why are you here..? |

"I like french poodles I have one he smells He’s dirty He’s rude Did I not say he’s a french poodle Listen next time So I draw on my page little french doggie doodles They don’t really rhyme" "I think of sweet lady She can always inspire I add mini-skirts To stick peoples attire" ROFL ... Lovin' your style and wit, Walt! I purposely didn't read this till my last poem tonight ... just because I knew I'd head off with a smile! Best wishes, /Kit |
