Thrown down on the bed,

the book lay quiet.
While I gazed at it
squashed-like,

bored and plain tired.
Bent over, dizzy,

sort of dead-in-the-head.
The misunderstood word

in the book on the bed had

piled up, jammed up, and

went over my head.

—— then I discovered what it was!

A simple misunderstanding.
is all that it was.
So simple to fix,

and the true cause of my blahs.

Looking up the word’s meaning,

my head became lighter.

Seeing colors and wonders

much bigger, much brighter,

I quickly picked up the book,

and laughed as I looked

at the whole new world of understanding.

——- and then, oh my god, and oh no, not again,

there it was, another misunderstood word!
