All I Want for NaNo

12:49 PM Elizabeth Seckman 38 Comments


 As you can tell by the meme, I'm late. I've got no better excuse than not knowing what the date is; I thought the third was Monday.

Yeah, you wish you could live in my world of obliviousness, right?

Sorry, it's a tiny world inside my tired brain.

But...I had this little ditty all typed out on my iPhone and I wanted to give the writers of this anthology their due. There is some amazing talent behind this great read:  J.A. Bennet, Kelley Lynn, David Powers King, Jessica Salyer, and Becca Ann.

This is a must buy for my Christmas season! Get your copy Here!!

So, without further ado, here is my contribution to the  All I Want for NaNo Blog Hop.

It may be sung to the tune of "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth", or not, depending on how well you carry a tune...

All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
A cure for Carpal tunnel
Oh, a cure for carpal tunnel
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
So I can write my masterpieces!

It seems so long since I could say
Typing doesn't cause finger tingles
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
If I didn't feel like I had shingles!

All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
A cure for Carpal tunnel
Oh, a cure for carpal tunnel
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
So I can write my materpieces!

WedMD says ice you see
will keep me typing like a missile
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
If I wasn't too frozen to write an epistle!

Hope you enjoyed my masterful song writer skills...now, go buy the book!

    That was really clever! Yes, I was singing along. Not out loud though. My co-workers would think I was nuts.

      It probably didn't fit perfectly...I used poetic license.

    bahaha!! I love it! I DO wish there was a cure for carpal tunnel...mine get inflamed. The doctor said to stop writing. He thought he was clever.

    My excuse lately for things is my brain fell out. :)

    I wish there was a cure for carpal tunnel too. I've dealt with it since about 1992.

      I bet that's my problem too! My brain fell out, surpassed the five second rule, and now has floor sprinkles on it slowing me down!

      Not nearly as smart as a Carrie Butler post, but I tried.

      You must use your imagination to make in fit completely...or do some note bending like Whitney Houston.

    Oh Elizabeth,

    Your poem is cool. I aint no fool. NaNo you say? A blogfest you say? Make them, make them go away. And to the song by Steam, sort of, "NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
    NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
    NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye..."

    All the best, I'm going now.....

    Gary :)
