Roller coaster
Burnt in toaster
When it’s done
It springs so high

You don’t put toast
In a toaster
So why put tears
In my eye

Up and down
Sideways wretch
Life is like
An etch a sketch

Boundaries are
Defining edge
How much will
This painting fetch

Etch a Sketch
Shake it clean
Still reminders
Can be seen

Lines on face
Can’t erase
Break the glass
Spill the sheen

Missing, sock
I have a lock
Of it’s lint
To prove it’s capture

Missing, clock
Its ticking tock
Catch a hint
Of my rapture?

Boundaries are
Quite replaceable
Toxic etch a sketch?
Quite untraceable

The winds of time
Are blowing left
The sun sets west
Upon the cleft

The toaster springs
Some are burned
We aught embellish
When terms are learned

Goodnight I’m sleepy
Kinda weepy
My son took back
The etch a sketch

I hope while drawing
I hid my pain
I shook and shook
But all in vain

Goodnight I’m creepy
And out of T. P.
I think I’ll use
My poetry

I have stacks
On stacks
I recycle too
I hope to save a pecan tree

You are some kinda wit !
I got it ... so clever are you !

If they sold boxes of you -
I think they'd call you - Nutty Buddy !
Crunch - crunch !
Loving it.

How time flies too fast, when we have little ones.
I loved etch a sketches, too.
