Love this. What grade do you he got?

I'm thinking something like what that kid in The Christmas Story got on his.

Did everyone have to mop up their own nap drool from the desktop real estate, or did the clean-up crew swoop in post-exodus to handle the aftermath of the slumber slobber? Asking for a friend 😜

Dream drool

My a poem right there, my friend.

dream drool

from the mouth of a fool

dribbles into a pool

beneath the barstool

where he nodded off while trying to look cool

ignoring the golden rule

and wondering who'll

accept his challenge to duel

Expand full comment

Ha! Ok.

slumber spill

from the lips of the still

trickles into a rill

near the counter's till

where he flopped over, his presence nil

flouting decorum with will

and speculating who'll

refuse his summons to thrill

Gloria strode in

And ordered a gin

And tonic with the skin

Of a lime with a grin

And said I been

Wonderin’

Who’d like to go fer a spin

With me and my kin

To commit some sin

Well! That’s a jewel. Hold on. I’m thinking.

In the dream realm

Oh, Brother. Ok. I can do dream realm.

In a realm where dreams and laughter blend,

Two artists—a Potter and a Painter—contend.

With poetic flair and a playful jest,

They duel in rhymes to see who's best.

In this land where fancy takes flight,

Words soar and whirl through the night.

They pirouette back in harmonious time,

To tickle the soul in a whimsical rhyme.

Verses frolic like stars in space,

Each line a dancer, full of grace.

With quips that sparkle, jests that flow,

They light up faces with a radiant glow.

The Potter shapes verses, spinning on the wheel,

While the Painter colors each line with zeal.

In this playful battle of wit and rhyme,

They craft a sonnet that will outlast time.

This is glorious

Present gratitude to the potter permitting the painter to produce a poetic piece in partnership. It's been pleasurable and, partly, a provoking panic, perplexing me and prompting a loss of patience.
