[bodytext] => I was going to write a sad poem But my nephew shot himself So I'll guess I'll wait 'til later And I put it on the shelf I finally took it down today But before I started to write I got a call from a friend of mine His daughter died last night So on the shelf it went once more To wait 'til grief has passed Again I took the paper down To write my sorrow at last But as my muse began to cry A knock came at my door A neighbor came to me in tears Her husband killed in the war I never wrote that sad poem It sits upon the shelf Sadness needs no poet at all It somehow writes itself [comments] => 1 [counter] => 142 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Whiskurz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
