A Quickie Before It Is Too Late
A Little Bit Naughty
A little bit nice
Like a heated chocolate chip muffin with butter early in the morning
Surprise I thought it was a blueberry muffin with sprinkled sugar on the top
I picked up the blueberry muffin first
Then I put it down to get this one instead
I saw bran muffins
They are healthy but I have to be in the mood
Blueberry I really like
Not this time
We can't eat muffins all the time
When we do have them
They are so good
This chocolate muffin is delicious
Just one thought of many thoughts
You can read into many ways
You could be right
You could be wrong
That is why I love poems
If I can capture your attention
Just for a moment
Then I have to keep your attention
Reel you in
Like a fish on a line
Slow and always ready
Holding the pole steady
At any time I could lose you
If I don't keep the tension on the line
You will pull free and getaway
There is always a chance I can hook you
Where you aren't going anywhere soon
Then again you could be just nibbling
Taking small pieces and swim away faster than you came
Isn't it wonderful that we can all think many thoughts at the same time?
Each with many different meanings and outcomes
Is it right?
Is it wrong?
I think it is just the way life is
Part right part wrong
We get to decide what we want
If it is early in the morning or late at night
Thoughts lead to action
Not all the time
They can lead to more thoughts
This brings me to my point
If we can make the best out of every situation
Then aren't we all better off
To start the day off on the right foot
Maybe to lay in bed a little longer
To take a quick nap
Get up and go and do something we wouldn't dream of
To laugh when we are having fun
To enjoy the person next to us
Without looking at our cell phone for the next few hours
Don't worry I wasn't that mean
Even though I thought wouldn't it be great to hide it from you
To make you wonder?
Where is my phone?
What is your next thought?
I knew I should have looked at it sooner
Then you can jump to all kinds of conclusions
See what happens when I listen to you
So many thoughts so little time
I get in trouble
I didn't create the trouble
You did
Are we who we are or what we think we are?
There is a big difference
I may go out of my way and be kind to someone
Then I can think of going out of my way
To help someone and believe in my mind I would have done it
If only I had the time
If only that person wasn't there to offer help before I came
Now they don't need my help
Convincing myself
They are all set
A conversation in my own mind
I never lifted a finger
If it is a big thing
I can call the police and they will handle it
It is their job
This way I shrug myself of all my responsibility
What about all the little things that fall through the cracks
Somewhere in between the big and the less important
I believe those are the things and times that make the difference in our life
So look at that one person that you really care for
Tell them how you feel
You will feel better
They will feel better
You might want to do it again and again
Who knows where it could lead
Even if you see no change
Change can be slow and take time
I am often corrected by Grammarly on many words that I write
I spelled Grammarly wrong and I had a pop up correct me once again
How cool was that
It is like a little voice in my head
You are not listening
So they remind you on the screen you are typing on
I am still here
Until you fix the problem
No matter how little and simple it is
You would be surprised how many changes I have made
Since I first started writing this poem
If you have the time
You have found a way to make it happen
The results may be overwhelming in your favor
Hands down no question
What a great move
Perfect timing
Just the thing I needed
Just what I always wanted
You never know unless you try
Sometimes trying is just enough
The outcome is uncertain
The fun is in trying
Happy morning and a good day to you too
An early eye-opener for sure
Maybe not a jaw-dropper
Remember imagination is the key
Again with the phone
No, I don't know your password to your phone
Yes, your phone is exactly where you left it
Now was it you or me that let out that last moan
