This time I shall be prepared
as Mercury goes retrograde.
This time I'll keep my big mouth shut
so I can keep the friends I've made.


So my friends I beg of you--
remind me when I start to speak--
place the duct tape on my lips--
I'm weary of the taste of feet.


Mercury be kind to me,
for I am flighty Gemini.
I write a warning to myselves--
"one of us should hide..."

But I can understand that one of yours.
Hang in there.
Take a potion or something . . .

Great!

Now, let's see, if we also duct tape you to a chair, then some chocolate syrup...maybe a little whipped cream...wait, how much trouble was it that you DIDN'T want to get into???

Okay...now that you gave me something new to worry about..or is it something to blame things on?  Anyway, maybe I need a reading to make sure I get out of bed on the right days..

I love the humor in this...well done!

Oh, do I ever know what you mean! I'm always glad when Mercury gets back to normal! It plays havoc with communication from computers to the spoken word. There are some positive aspects to Mercury being retrograde as well, but overall, I'm glad when it gets back to normal--so that my life does as well!

Mercury was in Leo (my sun sign) when I was born and I am strongly affected by it.

Loved your poem!--& I think I'll get some of that duct tape myself!
