Clowning Around Poem by Jerry Abrahamson

I love the fact
That I am always
Clowning around in the morning
Instead of doing domething important

But, then, you have to start
Thinking of the fact
That the only work I do
Is from clowning around

I, all of the sudden
Think of a poem to write
Or, of some drawing to do
At the spur of the moment

I can't work
AN 8 hour day
Because, My mind will
Just start drifting away

But, if I
Just clown around the day
I get drawings done
And poetry written
