"My mama said there would be days like this." But do they have to keep happening all the time?

The Dilly Dally Dolly Company from Scooby Doo



Dally



Willy-nilly, dilly dally is right up my alley,

as I face each conflicated overblown day.

My self isolation creating aggravation,

Little obstacles getting in my way.


With messages coming from side to side,

I open my senses ultra-wide,

but every little distraction requires action,

and my schedule for the day starts to slide.


Not to say my work is half-baked,

some of it through the keyhole raked.

Ends up not as beautifully planned,

but more like a pulled tooth still ached.


So I will leave you with this little ditty,

I know it doesn't look very cute or pretty,

but it's all I could do in the time I had left,

so as not to become puffed up or petty.


Down by the jetty. Well, down already!

A ditty for the day is quite often all we need to make it through the day! Such lovely phrasing...Aloha, Jeanne Burrows-Johnson

The day of a writer, at least this writer, is filled with starts and stops. Some parts run willy nilly while others just amble along. It's all part of the ride.

At least one doesn't have to worry you're not getting into your schedule headway on probably your 3rd or 4th 10,000-word accumulation to qualify oneself in a field you will exhausts until you've learned a great deal about it. You have done so much in your life that deserves reflection and sharing with the like of us who see, read and know it. Keep writing every day, regardless of the amount.

How about "but more like a pulled tooth to withstand." For rhyme's sake ? !

Your little ditty is quite "cute and pretty".

It's a great "little ditty" for kicking off NATIONAL POETRY MONTH. May yours be inspired and productive.
