Today's prompt on the NaPoWriMo website challenged us to write a clerihew. According to Dictionary.com, a clerihew is a poem that consists of two couplets that makes fun of a (usually) famous person. The writing is supposed to be irregular, no perfectly harmonized. Also, said subject's name is to make up the first line of the poem.
Now, I am not one to make fun of people, famous or not, so I wrote it about myself. No, I am not famous, but the prompt stated that we could use anyone, not just a famous person.

Just can't keep
Her thoughts to herself
why can't she keep them on a shelf.

About Alexandra Heep:
Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty.
After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter.
She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.
