Not Tonight

Dawdling wordsmith, beset by scotch
leather and lightbulbs awaiting his gift
'Not tonight' he sighs
My verbs have been stolen by gnomes
my adjectives auctioned by pixies
and summer gnats seeking revenge
for tacking them clumsily
to the crumbling clapboard
with primer and bar-b-que sauce.
