A Muse Suffers Indigestion


Hours, stuffed with minutes, 
Are plumb with to-do lists.

Minutes feel engorged, 
Seconds backing up like yesterday’s onions.

Seconds have no space left, 
Gobbling run amok.

I am suffering the gluttony the muse enjoys. 
She needs to stop her wretched excess.

"But  I like G-Man’s buffet. 
It’s only 55 morsels more. How could it hurt?"

************************************

As is obvious, this is my offering for G-Man's Friday Flash 55.

  4. If you sample the buffet and no one is looking... doesn't that cancel out the calories? :) Happy Friday, Patti.
