Blunders

Oops! There I go again.
Turn the pencil upside down to
Correct one more mistake.
Damn! I should have seen that coming.
That’s why pencils have erasers
In the first place. Just so
Fools like me can blunder foolishly,
Aimlessly while strings are strumming
Dancers dancing, singers singing,
Such distractions, hard to focus.
Television droning, droning without
Substance. Such a loss.
Pesky gnats that swarm about me
Eating at my contemplation,
Breaking bread upon my skin
Til they become my albatross.
Stop the swatting. Focus! Focus.
Concentrate on tasks at hand.
You can make a world of difference
If you choose to take a stand.
