Warm-Up

Mara Lynn Barbee

----------------------------------------

I have to write a poem
About anything at all.
And if I fail to finish it,
I'll commence climbing the wall.

I've no idea what to say,
But it doesn't matter much.
I can say whatever I want:
Bleu cheese, green beans, and such.

This is really quite amusing,
This babble-poem style;
It's like writing a nonstop
But rhyming all the while.

Now I'm getting into this:
I could write for quite some time.
This is partly so because
I find it's fun to rhyme.

But this is just a warm-up;
I have other things to write.
So now I'll go attend to that,
Though I could do this all night.
