HALF A BRICK SHORT <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

12-12-2016<\/p>\n

I could easily sit here all day,
\nWriting one poem after another,
\nNot sure where the gift came from,
\nBut don’t think it was my mother.<\/p>\n

The words just pop into my head,
\nThat darn spigot cannot be shut,
\nEven though some things I write,
\nMake me appear like a total nut.<\/p>\n

But that’s really okay by me,
\nBecause I am having so much fun,
\nI’ll be laughing my way to Heaven,
\nWhen this tired, old life is done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
