The Monkey Barrel

Doodleydoo I ponder anew
The things I should log in
And share with you
But the brain is daft
And the canvas is empty
And words run scarce
Where once there were plenty
The children are awesome
And steadily growing
And daily amuse me
When their wits start a-showing
They frustrate and confound me
In quite equal measure
And some days so much
I lose sight of their pleasure
The baby is chewing
A lamp cord for snack
And my cute little dirge
I’ll fold up and pack
Check in for a spell
Every now and again
I just may surprise
With quips from my pen
