They say, “Third time's the charm.” I hope that's true.
I've written this before, and there's no clue
About where my poem's gone
After so much time spent on
Creating it not just one time, but two.
So, I won't try to recreate the words.
I've done seconds, and don't want to have thirds.
That moment's in the past
And the feelings faded fast
And I'll leave them lying right there for the birds.
Instead, here's yet another brand new rhyme,
Seasoned with a healthy dose of thyme?
No, that's just asinine,
But fits perfectly fine,
So that's what I'm gonna put there this time.
Perhaps my big mistake first time around
That dropped the poem in the “lost, not found”
Was 'cause it said thanks to
Vocal for all they do,
But on that theme this is meant to expound.
Just one more little note I'll leave for you,
This time, I've done as I most always do.
I've saved these words for me
On my laptop, you see,
Just in case they should disappear from view.
Aaaaaaaalrighty, then! No more of this for me. If the poem goes away, I'm not ressurecting this piece again. I don't have any idea what happened to the previous poems and neither does Vocal. Anyway, you know the drill: Please leave a comment!
