...sometimes I wonder if my little choo-choo has really gone round the bend... ...or not...?

Organization… A skill I have yet to exhibit, Nothing has a specific place, I cannot find anything in haste, Better I should speak like a frog, ribbet…? Procrastination… Now this is a word I can sink into my teeth, Though not today, or right now, perhaps tomorrow, Nothing found from above, hiding underneath, Organization would be something I could borrow… Concentration… None do I have, Of this revelation I have no trepidation, This may be why I never do collaboration, No one out there is nuts enough, To believe in my personal prognostication… Misinterpretation… Oh yes, I most certainly do understand miscommunication, My life a long list of, I suppose, misrepresentation, Though for your sake I have, unfortunately, a moral obligation, Of making a modicum of sense, or sensation, While writing of my imaginatory spiritual manifestation… © ed ~ 3/9/06

This was a whimsical and fun piece. Enjoyed it throughly - especially the stanza on procrastination, you've just summed up my whole existence!
