I think I woke up dead today, my brain it will not function
Did write for you a contest verse, but then I had malfunction.
I followed all the contest rules, and pressed the submit icon
But when I went to find it then, this contest it was not on.

So now I write another one, forgive my self indulgence
I hope you will forgive my wrong, nor find me now a nuisance.
I'll try to recreate my verse, to set the scene for you
And how next day I woke up dead, I swear it is all true.

It started off a lovely day, my grand kids did I mind
Four gorgeous girls, I took them out to see what we could find.
The Tangled Maze it was a treat, got lost a little bit
And Lazer Force and mini golf, then skating did permit.

A great day out we had a ball and then I went to bed
To rest my weary bones refresh, but then I woke up dead.
But if you want to find out more, I'll leave that up to you
It's in my other poem now, and that's the only clue.

But I'm not 'not Goin Anywhere' I'll stay around to write
And enter all the contests now I'm staying up all night.
Coz I'm afraid to close my eyes, in case I wake up dead
So with my trusty pen in hand, I' ll use my brain instead.
