I haven’t tagged my posts in a while
I don’t want to be found
I don’t want to be found out

If I lay in wait
I will wait in lies
Because I never remember which is correct
Lie or lay
So I lie or lay
And am laying or lying
One of the two

An ending to something not exquisite
Seems inappropriate
But three stanzas seems fair
And maybe it’s just enough to lull the audience
Into comments positive, if undeserving

  1. Consider me lulled. You always do a great job creating a rhythm in the flow of your words, and that’s what I like most about this one.

  2. Ha…very clever.
