Copy Cat

Sometimes my great ideas
Are never mine at all;
In fact, it's more than half the time
I imitate the ingenuity on my neighbor's wall.

But it must be so much harder
In this day and age
Of speed-of-light technology
To think a thing before you find it
On someone else's page.

I guess my only consolation
Of being beaten to the punch
Is that there are twice as many bad ideas
I've never had to thunk.
