Show me things that bounce
Or things that flash in light
I’m really just a simple man
But not just over sight.
Read me slow a story
Whisper in my ear
I’m really just a simple man
I hope I’ve made that clear.
Wash your hair with coconut
Spray on your perfume
I’m really just a simple man
No matter what the room.
Fry me up some bacon
And brew the coffee strong
I’m really just a simple man
I hope it won’t be long.
Rub my shoulders and my neck
And you can have my wallet too
I’m really just a simple man
It’s really not that hard to do.
A Soul's Walk 
I’m tempted to write a response poem from a “simple woman”…
You really should.
I’m working on it today–stay tuned…(thanks for the encouragement, I needed a boost today). God bless you!
Standing by.
Oh! I am standing by, too! Looking forward to this response!
Did you read it? The title is fabulous. Pingbacks are so mystical…
very good response!
Two fantastic responses to the same poem! I love it!
sparks of inspiration come from the strangest places 😀
🙂
Yes, please do 🙂
“Marriage of Simple and Complicated” is the response poem I posted recently–you’re welcome to visit Caddo Veil and read it!
& isn’t supreme excellence; simplicity!
Loved your complicated type:)
Ha!
I’m left wondering who washes their hair with coconut…
Who doesn’t?
guess I better get on the band wagon! LOL
a mini response:
Bring me things that aren’t things
Or something from the sea
Really just a simple girl am I
The flower to attract a bee
Weave words into castles
Bury my fears in the sand of the shore
Really just a simple girl am I
Can you see my core?
Fabulous!
Looks like I have some great competition!–I love White Pumpkin’s poem. I’ll bet this poem of yours bore more fruit than you’d anticipated, eh?
First time I’ve gotten a response poem from two different poets! Good times.
Thanks Caddo! yours was a lovely piece…no competition.. inspiration simply comes from where it comes. 🙂
I do wonder sir, if you are inspired so much by the Bible what is your bacon made of?
Dead pig with lot’s of salt… duh.
Might I suggest Leviticus 11 for you reading pleasure then. Also, they make bacon out of turkey, chicken, beef, and a variety of veggie products, there is no need to get snippy.
I will read it again just for you… followed by a revisiting of Peter’s vision with the sheet in Acts chapter ten… and if I ever stop making jokes… you should probably be worried…
You don’t need to read anything for me sir. Enjoy your coffee, whomever you share it with. I was merely pointing out that bacon, like a lot of things in life, come in more forms than one.
I drink my coffee alone and I joke often but rarely mean to offend (which of course does not necessarily excuse me if I do offend mind you). I actually like turkey bacon… not as much as real bacon… but I think it tastes alright. And it’s too late… I already re-read that chapter and several others. I do hope you have a wonderful day… and if it’s not going so well I really hope it gets better. Cheers.
I am fond of beef bacon myself, but it isn’t all that great for your health. A treat now and then. I read it, as well as Quran 2:173 and 5:3. Hope your day is well too sir.
