A Typical Start

I sit
I slouch
I sigh
I stare
I wiggle and wobble
in my favorite chair

I dabble
I dibble
I scratch
and I scribble
It all seems
"so Ishkabibble"

I diddle
I daddle
I piddle
I prattle
same ol' rites
same ol' battle

dilly
and dally
nit-pick
and poke
I think this is when
I take my first toke

Yeah, I think maybe I'll finish this one tomorrow

Puff, puff, pass creative minds love to share. I never drink alone, but have been known to guzzle some, for some reason I never seem to have a pen handy when this event a cures or after wards when the dough-nuts or chips arrive. A one tracked mind I guess H mm D-o-u-g-h Nutz! Donnie/Sinbad

Reminds me of Dr. Suess

Did you know he coined the word "nerd"? I did, which makes me a...nerd! :) "I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker." Kelsey "In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me." -Edgar Allan Poe
