I sit in the empty kitchen with a pen in my hand thinking.
All of a sudden I get an idea and now I'm on the search for paper.
I run up and down the stairs to find some but no luck.
I ask everyone around me for paper but no one had any.
Filled with aggravation, I look in the cabinet in the kitchen and find paper plates.
My mind starts to wander and I get a crazed thought.
Paper.....paper plates....it can work the same way right?
So when life gives you a pen but no paper.
Look for paper plates.

I was at my grandmothers house one night and wanted to write a poem but couldn't find any paper so I found paper plates in her kitchen and used those.
