The cat is going to post today. What will people say? What will people think? What will they drink? What will they eat? What will they repeat? What....who cares. Did I just get stares?
Nervous Nelly had a rhyme.
But it ended before its time.
She could have done it well.
Every word she knew how to spell.
She knew the meter.
She wasn't a cheater.
She knew the scheme.
It was her dream.
But what if ruled.
What if fooled.
Left on the brink.
Left only to think.
What if there's hate?
What if it's fate?
What if it's not?
What if it's hot?
The brain paved a path,
Leaving a what if bath.
Showered and drunk.
Stuck in a what if funk.
Nervous and not.
Won the final plot.
Nerves were in knots.
Like wires on cots.
Rusty and worn.
Nothing was born.
Not even a word.
Why let it be heard?
Could be worse.
Could be a curse.
Could be bad.
Could be a fad.
The rational took hold.
Nothing needed to be told.
Could be was scary.
Could offend the tooth fairy.
Nervous Nelly had a rhyme.
But instead she sucked a lime.
Sucked and stayed in place.
Never showing her face.
Do you let nerves win? Do you rationalize not doing it at your bin? Are you a nervous nelly? Care what people think like those on the telly? Ratings are a big thing to those. Pffffft they can go suck on a hose. As can that nervous crap. We'll let someone else fall into that trap. Instead I'll continue to give sass from my not so nervous little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.

ReplyDeleteOn top
DeleteOf the crop
Hank must of gotten nervous and overslept
DeleteOr on the road
DeleteLike a toad
On the road
DeleteTo off-load
Hank
Throwing stuff out
DeleteWhile out and about
Most of the time
ReplyDeleteMy nerves are fine
Once in a while
They veer out of line
Have to give them a yank
DeleteBefore they walk the plank
Nerves can certainly cause an upset tummy.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
That they may
DeleteDay by day
Sometimes nerves will win
ReplyDeleteBut most of the time I stick out my chin
And dive right in
Dive and try
DeleteLet the nerves fry
Getting to the airport brings out Nelly here!
ReplyDeletehaha nasty as can be
DeleteWith nuts making you want to flee?
Nerves will battle me for a while but I eventually just do it.
ReplyDeleteMake them lose
DeleteAnd take the cruise
nerves on Monday mornings or coming back to work from a vacation...can I catch up? do I know what I'm doing? Arrgghh!
ReplyDeleteQuestions sure come
DeleteAlways will be some
I'm looking for some steel for my nerves:)
ReplyDeleteDo they sell it cheap?
DeleteDoes in it creep?
I'm nervous just about everything, but then I figure I'm not alone, so I suck it up and charge ahead. Sometimes that works. :-)
ReplyDeleteCharging ahead can work
DeleteHitting something though isn't a perk
Nervous Betty here a lot of times
ReplyDeletebut at least I know I suck at rhyme.
betty
Hey, it pops out
DeleteAnd rhymes about
I procrastinate a lot, but it's a personality quirk, and it's never because I'm worried about what will happen if I take action. If that were the case, I'd never get anything done.
ReplyDeleteSo is procrastinating better?
DeleteHave to write the cat a letter
Nelly will never know unless she tries. There is motivation in your rhymes today!
ReplyDeleteMotivation from a cat
DeleteHow about that
orlin N cassie....we noe ewe ca ree late....onlee time we iz nervouz iz when we can start seein de bottom oh de foodz bowl !!! ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteThe FSG better not let that take form
DeleteIt may become the norm
Nerves annoy
ReplyDeleteand nerves destroy
They give us energy
They make us feel spent
They help us perform
and make some impotent.
That they do
DeleteFrom top dog to feeble on cue
They decide
Whether one gets a ride
A Nervous Nelly With An Upset Belly!
ReplyDeleteNot to be affected so reduce the tally
Nervy Joe
A no show
Just not to be bothered by one or any
Hank
Not bothered could be bad
DeleteNothing gets done at one's pad
My nerves are usually strong as nails, expect when it comes to public speaking. That makes my tummy upset.
ReplyDeleteJust not hurl
DeleteThen on Youtube you maybe known as Vomit Girl lol
Oh, yes, sometimes I'm so nervous I can't sleep.
ReplyDeleteOther times I'm so nervous I weep.
Then I tell myself everything will turn out all right.
And I'm able to sleep throughout the night.
Just have to calm ourselves down
DeleteAnd then on to slumber town
Yes, I let them win sometimes and worries show in my face, yikes ~ Have a good spring season ~
ReplyDeleteCan't have that
DeleteThen get wrinkly where you're at lol
Nerves and worries, yup those can be an issue.
ReplyDeleteThat they can be
DeleteAt any old sea
Me nervous?
ReplyDeleteYup, I’m not impervious.
Despite this, I keep moving on
Hey, there is always a new dawn.
That there will be
DeleteUnless we are swallowed up by the sea
Nervous Nelly I am not ~ at least when it comes to writing. I'm nervous about things like going to cocktail parties ~ which happens rarely, thank goodness.
ReplyDeletehaha those bore me
DeleteWe'd rather stay home and umm errr pee?
Nerves help to move ahead,
ReplyDeleteto write a rhyme, to clear the head
to say a word or two aloud,or even
to make someone to applaud
That they do
DeletePush ahead and cheer on cue
came by to say hi
ReplyDeleteYipppeee
DeleteFor meee
