I am a procrastinator
and of patience have almost none.
The hours I keep are quite late,
almost to rise of morning sun.

I’ll go three days without shaving
and drink coffee until I’m wired.
Maybe that’s why I’m always awake.
It takes a lot to make me tired.

I still open doors for women,
though once, a woman yelled at me.
“I CAN OPEN IT FOR MYSELF!”
So, I backed off and let her be.

I never listen to music
and my tv is seldom on.
I like to play practical jokes.
I spend too much time on the phone.

You cannot get me in a suit,
unless I’m told someone just died.
I’m very honest, can be blunt.
If that worries you, then go hide.

It’s true that I am no great prize.
This artist will drive you insane.
At least, that’s what my wife tells me.
“To live with one is a real pain”

Michael, we all have our little quirks! You seem fine to me, but then, I don't live with you.  

Hugs, Marti

Most of us go to our grave
with our music still inside of us.

I think your wife is a saint...smiling...and I think she is married to an angel.  This was so fresh and lively.  Really enjoyed.

Michael,

This is terrific!  I agree with ThisDiamond. Also, this is light and uplifting. Don't know about your artists talents but can say I enjoy your poetry a great deal.


Hugs, Pat

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Michael, you are always a delight to have around and you truly are a special person, though I can't imagine anyone not listening to any music, even when much modern music is not really music anymore! (giggles) This is delightful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
