UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Please don't bother me at this moment
words are absent from my mind
no matter how long I have looked
nary a one was I able to find.
I do believe they were playing
a game called hide and seek
no matter how much I have looked
finding them looks pretty bleak.
Think Karen think cried my brain
frustration was seeping within
checking every nook and cranny
finding them was looking quite grim.
Just when I thought I had them cornered
they were on the run once more
racing all around in circles
then traipsing out the door.
They rushed into the large backyard
then scrambled up the tree
laughing and giggling as they went
sharing a bit of glee.
They shimmied down the twisted rope
onto the weathered swing
back and forth within the wind
a joyous tune they began to sing.
I wanted to catch the words quite soon
and return them where they belong
but quickly I became entranced
with their pleasant song.
I laid back upon the cooling grass
absorbing the sounds twirling about
watching the white clouds pass above
as my brain sent out a silent shout.
Okay words, you've had your fun
now it's time to come inside
to help me create something new
to build up my creative pride.
They finally listened as they tired
from playing their active game
they decided to come back peacefully
decided to act quite tame.
So now they are quietly resting
amid my thoughts within my head
remaining comfortable and cozy
as if they are tucked in bed.
Now they are home where they belong
until they are needed to help me rhyme
but right now they are enjoying
quiet moments of passing time.
