A challenge of words
Daily mileage to clock
When accustomed to torrents
May come as a shock
It appears that such distance
Brings a limit to speed
And more haste, fewer sentences
Grammar and greed
So I packed up the monitor,
The keyboard and mouse
And I, tentative, ventured
Outside of the house
As I strolled to the shops
In a shower of drizzle
My memory pops
At epiphany’s sizzle
A notepad, a new one
With freshly ruled page
And a packet of biros
Will surely assuage
My brain’s seeming outrage
At such a production –
Line focus to fiction
Instinctive and touching
