I know you don’t want to coddle
Or keep your kids trapped in a bottle,
But isn’t it ample
That I’m a bad example?
Please don’t let me be their role model.

Bad example
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011 by ahornerThe Procrastination Blues
Saturday, April 9th, 2011 by ahornerGot no reason to boast,
You’re never getting engrossed.
This feels later than most,
But I’m making my post.
You might say it’s a crime,
Say I’m way past my prime,
Posting late all the time;
At least they usually rhyme.
Now I’m drafting this song;
Hope it don’t take too long.
All this waiting is wrong,
But I pray you’ll stand strong.
Yes I’m sorry, dear Art, dear Jane and Veronica
(This is the part where I play the harmonica).
Oh baby, I hope this ain’t my fate,
I didn’t mean to make you wait;
Just slipped my mind until too late,
I swear someday I’ll play it straight.
This may be frustrating to you,
But I got procrastination blues.
I’m looking for salvation, too–
For now, procrastination blues.
Refusal
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 by ahornerI refuse to make up yesterday’s post;
If that makes me a liar, so be it.
I could write a poem, five stanzas at most,
But who even wants to see it?
I know that I say that I post every day,
But I’ve been dealing with illness a while.
Tonight you are not going to have things your way,
Going back to fix problems just isn’t my style.
Never mind that I’ve done it a few times before,
Never mind that I gave you my word–
Tonight, I’m not doing it any more.
I gave my refusal; maybe you heard?
