Poetry Diarrhea

Poetry diarrhea
is a sickness.
To write a poem,
because you should,
is also a sickness.
Looking up diarrhea,
because you don't know
how to spell it,
is healthy.
Knowing that two r's
come before the h
is also healthy.
Diarrhea is usually
not healthy.
Looking up diarrhea twice
because you forgot
how it was spelled
the first time,
so you had to look it up
another time,
could be considered
healthy, but maybe not.
Knowing when to stop
is paramount.
Looking up paramount,
because you have doubts
about your spelling
ability, and finding that
you spelled it right
in the first place,
can make you laugh
uncontrollably.
When you're done
writing your poem,
you could sit
and experience
shortness of breath.
I was once told
that shortness of breath
was not good.
I was not sure
that he was right,
but he probably was.
You could put your pen
down at the end,
and go blow your nose.
If you pick your pen
up again, you will
probably keep writing.
Sometimes, you just
have to control 
yourself and stop.
Of course, you might keep
going, in which case,
it will be a longer
poem. Since you know
that you could have stopped
after the first five
lines, but you decided
to keep writing
anyway, you might
continue until you
feel that the poem
has ended.
Then you might reread
it and decide
that the word "forget"
that you had debated
using, would be better
spelled "forgot". 
You might cross out
something.
You might wonder what
the poem means.
