A funny poem from January
This post was on my other blog, and I thought y’all might get a kick out of it. It was back when I was looking very hard for a place to stay, and I was starting to just go bonkers. (Not because of the company, but just because I was tired and working hard.) I will post about Nashville and many other thoughts tomorrow probably.
A Monday Night in Georgia
My brain is fried,
I wish I had died.
No, not really.
I guess that is silly.
I’m just so tired
I wish I was hired
by someone who
had an apartment for you.
No! Not you!
I want one for me.
But that I can’t do,
‘Cause there aint one for free.
So now there are lists
gripped in my fist
of factors to think
and money to sink
into that hole,
just don’t take my soul,
for an apartment to find
is stretching my mind.
Roommate or not?
How much to keep hot?
Is the place very clean?
Are the neighbors real mean?
How much do you ask?
Are you wearing a mask?
How soon can I move?
HEY! YOU ARE THROWING OFF THE EMPERERS GROVE!!!!
*sigh*
After buying a car
just last week,
I’d like to go far
a lady to seek.
OK, just kidding
I don’t really mean it.
But that nice little car
has lots of “green” in it.
Although it was a deal,
but not quite a steal,
it’s a nice little ride,
and roomy inside.
That was my venting.
And I wasn’t relenting.
Saying all the things
that came to my mind….RINGS!
Ok, I am done.
I surely had fun.
That is my post.
I pro’ly like it the most.
(Wow! It’s amazing how much better I feel after belching out that poem. It’s like telling someone my problems. Any way, the blabering is over. Let the comments begin.)
P.S. As a disclaimer, the comment about being hired by someone who had an apartment is not meant to be any indication of my opinion of my current employer. It simply rhymed, so I said it. :o)

Who hoo! You should get that one published!!!!
Please do post about Nashville…we are going to Indy in August. Sounds like it is gonna be really good this year. Of course I always enjoy the conferences, but I am really excited about this year ’cause God has taught me so much and given me a new sensitivity to Him in my Spirit…I know I will learn wonderful (and probably difficult things!) but that is okay…its how we grow!
What kind of job do you have anyway…you do more than pastor a church?
Jarod – what a great rhyme!!! It got me up to speed with what you have been doing – looking for an apartment and you just bought a car.
Now you just have to post about Nashville. You went to the conference??! Cool.
oh but wait – the title of this was “A Poem from January”. I am not caught up on the most recent happenings then!!! Sheesh…just when I thought I was keeping up…
