EXCUSE ME

I have a bit of a cold and do not feel top notch .  I thought of a poem I wrote when I had a cold in January,

 

TIP OF TOP

 

Ever been in Tip Top Shape?

The world's your oyster to take?

I question just what that means.

I ponder with mind so keen.

 

Does it mean on top of the tip?

Careful not to slip?

Uncomfortable looking down,

At people on the ground,

 

All alone, looking down,

Quiet--not a sound.

Careful, your bubble may pop.

Very lonesome--on the top.

 

After thinking this whole thing through,

This is what I think I'll do.

Ship along, and don't stop.

Stay in the middle--not on Tip Top
