Exponential Silliness or
Silliness to the Nth Degree

By Kathy Armijo

 

♫♫It’s off to work I go.
Running here and there,
Running everywhere.
From one closet to another,
What DO I wear? 

It’s late.
It’s late.
I’m soooo very late,
For an important date.  “$$$”

If I only had a brain. 
           
I wouldn’t miss the train.
            Even in the pouring rain.
            I’d know what to wear.
            And, wouldn’t be late.

There’s no place like home.
            Free from the hustle and bustle.
            Wouldn’t miss the train.
            No walking in the pouring rain.
            Wouldn’t care what I wear.
            Would already be there.

The cow jumped over the moon –
To get away
            From life’s hustle and bustle;
            Cause he can’t get a ticket on the train;
            From the lousy the rain;
            From having to wear the same outfit every day.
Mostly,
He doesn’t want to be dinner at somebody’s home, today!

The End!

Gee, I've been in this same situation & it does sting...I found this to be humorous but in a truthful manner. I loved the lines about the cow! A nice writing.

You sound about as focussed as me when I try to get my head round what to wear... All usually to no avail... Back on with the jeans, flip-flops and baggy sweater. Heels give me nosebleeds anyways! Cute and very visual. Also very true to life with the clipped and piecemeal thought processes. Right, just running off with the Spoon... :)) Kate xx

Your poem has a serious note even though its written with a flourish of humor. I imagine it depicts people everywhere in their busy hustle and bustle of life.

I loved this! What a great write to read at 5:30 a.m. as I am already scurrying about to begin a very busy day, while in my head wondering what in the world am I going to wear today, what do I have to do next today, will I get everything done today? You've penned an amazing and creative write...Hmmm, hadn't thought about the cow, but you're right! Enjoyed this whimsical poetic tale...
Blessings,

What to wear and what shoes to wear with it!! I have a ton of shoes. But then my friends in town call me Emelda Marcos. I love this, has just the right touch of silliness.
Thanks for the laugh Kathy!

Kathy, this is charming. Perhaps a tad silly, but you do touch upon one of the weaknesses we - women, at least - cave in to...what to wear, what to wear? :)

Thanks for this one...I love it.
