One Week

With apologies to BNL...

It's been one week since Geoff made a post,
I'm sure there's been some who've said, "Where did he go?"
After five days without seeing one, I'm thinking,
"Get back online and at least put up a postcard."
Three days since and nothing new;
I realized it's probably all still too soon.
Yesterday without seeing one,
It'll still be at least two days before it's done.

Posting now to see what happens,
Will there be comments?
Or will no one even leave a word?
Can't summon notes to the post, unless I do a writer-ghost,
But that wouldn't be Kosher because they'd all be false words.

Not always easy to try and bust rhymes,
Unlike LeAnn Rimes,
Especially under pressure.
BNL's got the mad hits,
And I can't match wits;
Kinda wish I was a Cheshire.

Can't catch a break or fake a take
Or drink a stinkin', achin', shake
And I think vanilla's still one of the best flavors.
Kim Novak stars in "Vertigo" and her beau
Jimmy's also in the show.
To see "The Tingler",
Some had to sign a waiver.

How can I help it if I'm going through post withdrawals,
Trying hard not to slip into a Southern drawl.
I'm just a guy who's trying to have a little fun,
Don't mean to be insulting to anyone,
Mizz has a tendency to say whatever's on her mind;
At work I always wear a shirt.

It's been one week since Geoff made a post,
Threw my arms in the air and said, "He's gone ghost."
Over five days and no more to read;
I don't think that it would help even if we plead.
After three days one begins to think
That it may have been a bad day to give up drink.
Yesterday I thought there might be,
But now I sit back and wait 'til he feels he's ready.

Chickity China the Chinese chicken,
Give it to the Colonel, he'll make it finger-lickin'.
Watchin' "Pitch Black" with no lights on,
My pizza's all gone,
I know Vin Diesel stars in this one.

Like Eddie Valiant, if I get stuck,
I'll be out of luck;
I don't know how much more I can go.
Like many others I've seen bad films,
Glad I don't make films,
But if I did I could make lots of dough.

Gonna get a set o' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my arms aren't always flying off the back-swing
Left that other verse alone
'Cuz my brain is kinda blown with a "BOOM", baby,
And I couldn't think of anything.

How can I help it if I'm going through post withdrawals,
Trying hard not to slip into a Southern drawl.
I'm just a guy who's trying to have a little fun,
Don't mean to be insulting to anyone,
Mizz has a tendency to say whatever's on her mind;
At home I rarely wear a shirt.

It's been one week since Geoff made a post,
I just went in the kitchen and made some French Toast.
Five days of not seeing one,
And that enough to put a strain on anyone.
Three days since I'd given up;
I realized my tea was gone, so I got a cup.
Yesterday, it occurred to me.
That we have at least two days until there might be.

We have at least two days until there might be.
We have at least two days until there might be.
