My Thoughts in Bite-Size Bursts of Seventeen Syllables

By Hollis WheelerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I never expect

Inevitability

But that's how it goes.

I'm a self-made man

Nobody else would bother

To make one like me

Kermit was correct

It's not easy being green

But who wants easy?

"Nothing tastes as good,

as being thin feels" They said.

Supermodels lie.

Philosophical

Fills the first line on its own

I can't say much more.

And sometimes I wish

I could write long sentences

Like P.G. Wodehouse
