"Not First" by Locust Eater

I am not first or second
I am not even third
But isn't pouncing on an open thread and typing 'First!' absurd?

How about a comment?
How did you spend your night?
What's the weather in your city?
How did you greet first light?

For me the day starts sleepy.
I caught some extra Z's
And now I'm dragging off to do some work, my management to please.

No offense to firsters, seconders, or thirders  intended...but I do appreciate the poetry...

JAKE RESPONDS

"Not first" you say?
Calloo Callay !
I'll not be first
To type "First" today!
Instead, by George, I'll lay & stay
abed and catch more ZZZs
'fore startin my day..

"Absurd" you say?
Calee Callay !
Sour grapes says I
you've grown too old to play
Forgotten how to have fun
In a childish way..
Your inner child is lost
It's the price you pay.

Well, if 'Inner Child' requires hitting 'refresh' in the wee hours looking for a new thread, then in fact my Inner Child has died, been cremated, and had it's ashes scattered to the wind, and had a stone erected in its memory, which was subsequently vandalized, the graveyard became grown over, and the stone can now no longer be found without a GPS-linked-theodolite.

Hey Gail, can I steal Double Ptero Dactyl for my blog? I'll link it back and cite you and all that stuff.

Hah, LE. Jake's an early riser AND he's in Seattle.

You sure can use my Ptero Dactylic poem. I'm glad you like it.
