When ideas come why is it always
the middle of the night?
Or while I’m feeding baby Max and
can’t possibly write??

Why do my best ideas pop out
when I am snuggly in my bed?
Why not while I’m sitting here
racking my brains instead??

No, my best ideas will come to me
when Zack has made a mess.
Something that I must clean up
before the carpet gets distressed!

By the time I’ve fed the baby,
cleaned the carpet and slept,
all those great ideas I had
have very simply… LEFT!

  1. Sounds like the story of my life. We need to keep a notebook and pen handy all the time.

    Make use of our stationery fetish!

  2. Nice bit of verse.
    I don’t believe those ideas have left - they’re just waiting on the sidelines till you have a bit more time.
    Sending much bloglove,

  4. What a great post…I can totally relate! I always get the best ideas while showering or driving the car….not very opportunistic times :(

  6. Ever so true…

    Can I add a verse?
    Why do ideas only come,
    When I’m stuck behind the wheel;
    And the children in the back
    Decide to whine, and pinch, then steal…

    Each other’s snack?

    Thought I’d finally comment as you’ve so kindly put me on your blogroll. I’m such a lurker!

    I moved over to Blogger and the link was broken for a few days, but I’m up and running again.

    Anyhoo, from this side of the big water, thanks for the linkage!

    I’ll come back real soon, y’all!
