All I Need Is...
Stranded on an island…
Only water all around…
I guess I’d want something
To get off and travel around.
Stranded on a boat now…
Oh golly gee how neat…
I guess I’d now want something
Satisfying to eat.
But seriously though… if I was left all alone
With only the thoughts in my head
The one thing I’d need to keep me going
Is my pen and a notebook of red.
For with this paper and with this pen
I can invent anything I would like.
A friend to talk with, a city to go to
A flying car, a sub, a bike.
I’m so happy thinking
About all the words I’d knock out.
The only problem with what I need
Is what happens when the ink runs out.
Oh no! I found another problem!
The paper is almost gone!
No paper, no ink, no hope at all
Oh where did I go wrong?
I guess I could need my laptop
But what about when it dies?
I’d sit around with no way to charge it
And that would probably make me cry.
Okay so next…what do I choose?
A friend? A pillow? Some food?
Some clothes? A book? A drink? A song?
What do I have to lose?
I guess all I need isn’t as simple
As what I what I thought it would be.
With all these material possessions to choose from
I guess I only need me.
Oh wait! I’ve decided! I know what I need!
Let’s celebrate! I’m no longer swamped!
The thing I need…I mean really need…
Is more time to finish this prompt.
