Inventing Soap
I wish I had invented
soap. Now, what a thing to do
Each time a person
washes clean those vibes come back to you…
I wish I had invented
pearls that sparkle, sheen and shine
strung up upon those pretty
necks. That would be divine!
I wish I had invented
the car, the plane or fire or the wheel
Each one of these affords
us comfort…What a groovy deal
I wish I had invented
Tupperware, gravy or some heels
instead of hanging around
like a bat in the dark to digest a meal
Oh, I wish so many
things. If I had had more time...
I would make a gadget
or two. Now, that would be sublime
Unfortunately, I have
to go and fix my nasty hair.
I have to go and wash
my clothes; make clean my underwear
I’m pressed by
time...I have things to do. Now, I must go away
Inventing soap will have to wait another day.

I wish I had invented post-it notes. :)
ReplyDeleteGood one Lynn! ;-) Thank you for stopping in, too!! ;-) Karen
ReplyDeleteI am just like you - too buys doing the "day to day" to pursue the genius that lurks within - we all have it - we all have that "a ha" moment when we see a gadget we could (should) have invented :) Cute poem!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret! Yes, sometimes too busy with the mundane to do what my spirit and my soul might like to do....Thanks for stopping by! Karen ;-)
