A Poem

I am just a poem, nothing more and nothing less,
Letters of the alphabet is all that I possess,
I have no car, no home, no money,
I cannot laugh if things get funny.
I do not eat, I do not drink,
I have no brain with which to think,
No arms, no legs, no eyes that see,
Some words that rhyme, is all I be,
A piece of paper is my stage,
Typed out words upon a page,
From a keyboard I am born,
Onto the screen I then adorn,
Of just one thing I have a fear,
When his finger gets too near,
That infernal key that means defeat,
Please don't hit that darned delete!

LOL, I've never considered how the poem might 'feel' about the delete key.
Hmmm, maybe I will have to be more thoughtful and just stick the not-to-be-posted writes in a just-in-case-it-has-potential folder?
Thanks for the grin.
