From thoughts the story unfolded, but when they were published, I had to deny the master of a piece as mine: Read Poem and leave your valued comments. Thank you! Written by…E.B. Wilkes.

I try to write

but something just ain’t right

my grammar seems hammered

my punctuation is an abomination

and sometimes my is spelling

appalling.

My thoughts are correct,

but after I put them on paper

to inspect

I see, too often “dribble,

drooling back at me.”

Could it possibly be

that I may have ejaculated to soon?

Maybe I should have picked up the dictionary

at least one that isn’t outdated and warn;

for, it would have protected

me from what I have spewed.

What have I done to myself?

Now, that I’ve done what I’ve done

there is nothing I can really do

to undue what I have done!

Now, that the story is published

and on the shelves, as well as on the net,

I’ll bet…

“That Master of a Piece”

will put me in debt!

I’m sure that now, all I’ll get

is zero’s without a check!

I must now, deny, that it’s daddy’s baby!

Yes;

I’m willing to go on Maury

to tell the world my side of my story…

Maybe then Oprah…

will see me

and want to take the time to read me,

and then, recommend my true story

that was clever witty and wise

to the world as a best seller

so that real numbers

can be printed on my check

and put a sparkle in my eyes.

After all, as the old saying goes;

I’m not really as dumb as they get,

I only suffer from my own mental neglect

because, I did not take enough time to properly inspect

what turned out as a wreck!
