30 Days of Writing Minus 2 - 15 Minutes

15 Minutes


Dear Abby, Dear Abby,

My kids call me nuts

In Yiddish they would say that I am a putz

For 15 minutes I’ve just stared at this screen

Yelling out loud “Nicky and Mike are so mean”

Signed, Lost Marbles


Now go visit Nicky and Mike and see who else created something for you to read...

  1. Yeah, I'm thinking you might have lost some if you did that. ;)

  2. Love it. I think this is your best one so far. Like who couldn't agree that "Nicky and Mike are so mean"?

    1. Well, I could think of two people who wouldn't agree...

    2. I think deep down, even Nicky and Mike do actually agree. They have to. Otherwise, they're just inhuman.

  3. On some days the poetry just flows more easily than it does on others.

  6. When my son was very little, I mumbled "I've lost my freakin' marbles" one morning while trying to get us all ready and out the door. He jumped down off the couch and said "Did they roll under the couch? I'll help you find them!"

  7. I think we've all lost our marbles. And somehow I suspect Nicky and Mike are collecting them, and will hold them for ransom after the challenge is over.
