Top Story Story
a story (poem) story (poem)

i’ve been tossing about the idea
of writing a Top Story story
to bask and perhaps revel,
a second slice of that moment of glory
but i needed a bit of something else
something else that i could show ‘em
i though about it as you do
and then i wrote this Top Story poem
yeah i know this is cheesy
and a little bit greasy
but i’m just going easy
and maybe a little bit peasy
just a few words
to accompany my links
and maybe a few more
after a coupla drinks
i put a decent record on
(Flowers - Icehouse)
to help these few words flow
don’t tell anyone its only nine AM
(pah - that’s just a minor detail)
no one needs to know
so i’m rocking out and getting pissy
which is pretty much par for this course
doubt comes to crash my private party
making me feel this as fake and forced
in spite of this the words still spill
in fractured fragments or complete and whole
i re-arrange, adjust and change, i stage the strange
all whilst trying to avoid a plot hole of droll
i don’t know where the words come from
but i know where they eventually go
i add a little heart and guts, some bells and whistles
and then shine them for the show
i don’t know how i did it
especially when you look at the odds
the words flow from the ends of my fingers
and into the hands of the Vocal gods
i figured i've got enough now
here are my Top Stories once again
and if you think you’ve had enough
…ya just gotta say when!
read one read them all
it’s been a hoot, it’s been a ball
and so in closing,
a big THANK YOU to ALL!
