He thought he’d write
About dragons
And maybe a knight.
Then he thought of
A night to remember
But that was
Used for every Titanic story.
Of course dinosaurs were
A lot like dragons,
But he liked to write
About lavish costumes
Top hats and canes,
Love letters,
And late night meetings
With candle light
Illuminating soft stolen kisses.
Modern or Victorian?
Did cavemen kiss cavewomen?
Was romance a modern thing
Or was it something that came
Into being with the ancient
Barely upright humanoids?
Were Sasquatch males looking with shy glances at
Their females with swinging arms,
Causing squishy feelings of amorous alarm?
He could write a mystery
About a lost book
With a map or a spell
Or a secret.
Maybe something about
An adventure
Starting high on a mountain
With climbers running out
Of oxygen
Then end it on the beach
With gin and tonics
Containing extra twists of lime
And lovers toes in the sand.
Maybe he’d just sleep on it.
Or maybe…he’d just fix more coffee
Then stay up and write.
That is exactly what the cat recommended.
