I think that maybe I will write,
A poem short, not deep but light,
I think perhaps four lines will do,
And then I’ll stop, ‘cause I’ll be through.


Addendum

But what I ask will be my theme?
It must be good, or it will seem,
That I am doodling with nada to do,
My fingers lost in Passion's blue.


Addendum to addendum

O what the heck, I must admit,
All here alone does this guy sit,
My wife is out, went to the store,
I didn't go, 'cause I'm a bore.


Final addendum

When will the football game commence?
So I can end this dread pretense,
Of penning poems grand with rhyme,
And quit wasting all this time.

Epilogue

For anyone who takes the time,
To read this bit of fluff filled rhyme,
I apologize for my endeavor,
I wish I could have been more clever.

whether it be doodle on pad, keyboard, or on a fridge with those little magnets, sometimes we just go to go outside the box.  Good humor piece and brought a smile.

Difficult to comment, you sound like you want to write and structure, but bored, which either makes it very accurate on people writing or discriminating.

I liked the effect.

Tim, it's amazing what comes out of too much time on our hands, good thing you stayed home and did what Mark said   Very clever indeed.

Tim

If giving me a smile
was the aim of this you wrote
then you have the winning poem
and you also get my vote
