Things I'm not good atA Poem by D. MansfieldThings I'm not Good At Never read the classics, didn't study in school, Don't believe in witchcraft, I'm mediocre at playing pool. Cut myself shaving, it seem, much too often. My feet fall too heavily, even when I soften them. Motors baffle me, I cant change my oil, I can make spaghetti, while wearing a hat of foil. I'm not a runner, don't belong to a bowling league. All this time on my hands, my mind is under siege. Paper cuts, find my fingers, I sometimes stretch the truth. When my blood sugar drops, I eat a Baby Ruth. Word games like scrabble, aren't my cup a tea, I like being the little car when playing Monopoly. Cant make things disappear, magic just isn't my bag. Couldn't throw a curve ball, that the batter didn't tag. Everyone's good at something, some are even great I am not good at everything, but I do not show up late. © 2024 D. Mansfield |
