Don't Bother Me
The phone is ringing?
Well, answer it.
Someone at the door?
See who's there.
Phone for me--wait a bit.
The cat's up a tree?
Get a ladder--I'm busy
Ladder fell on my flower bed
Have you heard one word I said?
I'm busy--don't bother me!
You're hungry? Put soup on simmer
No time to fix dinner
What am I doing?
Why!! I'm writing a poem!
