This is mostly for my regular readers. My “follow” count is getting to the next landmark and I’m going to post another chapter of The Moosehead Stratagem while I give my brain a rest and reevaluate my life choices.
My question to you is, should I write more or just let it alone. I’m not fishing for compliments… I want real opinions. Please put them below.
Now, if I haven’t alienated you already, here’s a poem:
The Inevitable Made Evitable
My son wanted to borrow my car
I said, “Who do you think you are?”
He said, “I’ll be careful as a monk.
Don’t worry I won’t be getting dronk”
“No beer or wine…
Just tea with friends discussing Wittgenstein”
So I relented
provided he bought gas before all of his money was spented.
It ended as you’d suspect
my car was rect.
Potatoes and the Promise of More Potatoes 
I’m a relatively new follower of yours and have no idea what the Moosehead Stratagem is, but I thoroughly enjoy your blogs.
Of course we do have a Moosehead Lake region in Maine, so if you’ve been up here…do tell.

It’s a parody of Robert Ludlum spy novels…

Ah… a story. Gotcha.
For a minute there I thought it was a diabolical plan for moose to take over the government. Which now that I think about it… might not be so bad.

It’s your party, you know. I say you ought to enter The Terrible Poetry Contest -a request totally unrelated to the poem you shared, of course. 😉

this poem is proof enough that you are sufficiently terrible at it.

You should always write more.

I’d be writing, regardless… I just don’t want to put people through a week of something they don’t want to read. I didn’t even know I had a chapter five… just found it… It’s weird when you start forgetting what you’ve written…

Well, I know I’d like to read more of it, and I can’t be the only one.
I do that too. Every so often I’ll look through a notebook and find stuff I don’t remember writing.

When I find something I’ve written but forgotten about, it feels like waking up next to a dead body with no memory of the night before…

Go for it! I love to read the funny antics in the Moosehead story. But, of course, it’s up to you.

You have to do what you want to do Charles. It has to be your decision. I write because it gives me pleasure and I share in the hopes it will give others pleasure. I love reading everything you post but I feel you don’t have confidence in your work. You know its ok not to write like everyone else because you’re not everyone else. You are yourself. PS – If you need motivation go look at the video I posted yesterday. It will give you a chuckle if nothing else 😊

Not really a stupid poem, more like reality bites. Haven’t all too many of us had a car wrecked by a child?
