Neil Simon is Living in My Lunula (Free verse) by MacFrantic
I have no idea about how he got there
Or how long he's going to stay
But Neil Simon's living in my lunula
Where he sleeps all night and writes all day
I try to coax him off my hand
Sometimes I act the jerk
Sometimes he makes queer faces at me
Sometimes I yell
It doesn't work
We discuss sports and recent weather
I've grown to like him a little more
He brings some friends over here and there
They make a mess
I cannot seem to stay asleep now
They always bring the noise
I picked up Neil just yesterday
And took him from his boys
"Neil", I said with such a shout
"Look at all you do to me."
"I'll have you know this cannot continue"
"You friends must go"
"They must let me be"
So Neil just sat and looked
Then he gathered up his things
And Neil moved up into my brain
Where he lives to make me laugh and sing
