The Obligatory Poetry Month Limerick

The writers of poetry know
that a limerick's the wrong way to go
if expecting to meet
the "poetry elite"
serious sonnets are more apropos.

At the Writing Desk

Cleaning the keyboard helps me think
enough dog hair to knit a new dog
and crumbs of unrecognizable origin.
The dust on the screen may actually be
remains of the wall spackling from last spring
still swirling in invisible streams
each time the forced air heat comes on.
Three pens that don't write
a photo printer out of ink -
stuff I only notice
when I run out of words.
