Ph: Faith: Easily Distracted Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Faith: Easily Distracted

Rating: 5.0


Is it that time gets away from me
Or that every second has its own story to tell
And that my circuits get overloaded at times?
In truth, some seconds are astounding:
Like when the illegal 'Dragon's Claws' I bought
From a firework's stand on the Kansas-Oklahoma border,
Gutted a traditional Folgers coffee can,
(It never left the ground) , and then its brother
Blasted a heavy metal water bucket
At least 40 feet into the air!

Wow! Talk about 'poetry in motion! '
Most theorists are poets too you know,
With their 'Big Bang' theories and
'Laws of Nature' emerging over time!
Eventually, we all have to deal with
What some distant poet first called 'the opposite sex! '
But it is so much easier to explain Creation I think!

But can anyone say why men love explosions?

the poem was going along so well. then: and then it's brother! ! it is brother? i doubt it, young man. hee-hee. [ as you probably have heard, forming the possessive of 'belonging to it' is an exception to the general rule of using an apostrophe. i think i'm saying that correctly. ] and OOOPS! ! ! are poet's too you know, ...........i guess you can't be handsome, a farmer, AND good at forming some words. : ( ha ha...........................poets? ? for some reason, my favorite lines: Is it that time gets away from me Or that every second has its own story to tell And that my circuits get overloaded at times? In truth, some seconds are astounding: bri ;) don't be teaching Abekah S. Dakota English! !

It really was a test silly to see if you, my favorite 'goof detector, ' was losing his grip. Thought sure you would miss the second error! A double header! Ha!
