Recorder

by Charles E Minshall


I bought a voice recorder,
A costly miniature size,
To record all the poems
That I might devise.

But the purchase I've found
Has all been for naught.
I've recorded nothing
Since the recorder I bought.

It came with a warranty
So I think I'll take it back.
It was guaranteed to work
But there's a total lack.

Well, the recorder got you one anyway! (just when I needed a laugh the most, too!) Thanks Charlie...and happy 4th!

Yeah, looks like it broke (at least temporarily) any writer's block you may have had... so it was good for that at least. As always quite the humorous piece too! Thanks for the smile.

Yea...when you take it back the words will really start flowing again...isn't that the way of things...
