The Raven


Once upon a midnite dreary,
Walked an old man, tired and weary.
A raven flew above his head.
The raven saw the man was dead.
And so away the raven sped
Into the knight.

This came to me in the shower.
Should I maybe take more showers?

Laughing here, this one got me. Yes, take more showers especially if they generate such funny stuff. Way to go, amigo.

Soaking there within your shower,
writing all the words of power,
dreaming of the bird,
did you know that you were dreaming?
Did you think that you were scheming,
as the waters sluiced all steaming,
giving you the word?

Suddenly there came a clatter
and the shower no longer mattered
as the soap bar fell and shattered
shattered on the bathroom floor.
Quoth the raven....get the door.

Running to the door I scurried
Might be someone sick, I worried
Should have thought before I hurried
hurried hard to get the door
Slipped and fell upon the floor.

(someone elses turn now!)
