An Itty Bitty Ditty

I used to do it when I was young,
Though I don't do it any more.
I did it in my room all alone
At night after I locked my door.

I could have done it in the day,
But I didn't want anyone to see
That what I was doing
Was touching something deep inside of me.

The passion is gone with the years,
So now I can let the secret out.
I used to write poetry.
What did you think I was talking about?

Sly dog,you.
Wonder if it's true.
'Bout you.
'Bout roses are red
And violets are blue...
What really happened
In the loo?

Very funny! Most people would get the wrong idea upon first reading.. Then, you read the end and you realize it's something else entirely..
Love it, love, love to bits. Ten!

Delightful poem. Pat, you have untapped talents none of us ever knew about. I thought you were going to end it that you were praying, but I was wrong. I never thought of the obvious because I didn't think you'd write about it. This was so much better than I thought. I really enjoyed it!
