He only had time to read
while sitting on the can
stolen moments here and there
for a minute or two...
but one day
when he was really "backed up"
he nearly finished

    That is a funny read - however, two comments - I don't think you read my post on OLN and secondly do not give home page to your blog, but the actual poem you are linking in .

    This is the finest crappy poem I have ever encountered; inspiring, titivating, the finest introspection. Abhra's point is a good one, but those of us who prepare early must now consider something fresh; smiles.

      When we read a poem, we don't think much about the circumstances in which it was created, but anything I read of yours, I will know!

    I truly LOL'd after reading this. So it goes, right? Our days are often so busy that reading is often done on the throne. Such is life! :-)
