WORD SOUP

FRIDAY WRITINGS ... I indulged in word soup for fun,   I love the magic of words, dribbling from fingers to keyboard in an endless stream of pleasantries, mysteries,  subtleties,  vignettes, and curiosities.  The songwriter, Willie Nelson, says the air is full of melodies, just reach out and grab one.   Same is true of stories …..   the words are all there, just reach out and grab some.  If you ever feel like you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, this poem may be for you.  You just may be unlikely enough to qualify…..or not.   I just reached out and grabbed some words!   Submitted to Poets & Storytellers Friday Writing, January 28, 2122

                                                                   WORD SOUP

                                                        Common sense, good sense, nonsense, 

                                                        And those who have no sense at all

                                                        Well dressed, Sunday best, over-stressed

                                                        And those who are late for the ball

                                                        High heeled, well heeled, ears peeled

                                                        Listening for the final call

                                                        Bellicose, verbose, grandiose

                                                        And those who are exceedingly small

                                                        Not here, wrong door, my dear

                                                         It’s the first door down the hall.
