(This piece is one I wrote years ago, but I feel like giving it a fresh airing.)
I think I’ll write a poem …
Type, type, type …
Words, words, words …
‘Twill have to be a story …
Type, type, type …
Words, words, words …
No … I guess a novel …
Type, type, type …
Words, words, words …
A saga will be better …
Type, type, type …
Words, words, words …
A trilogy is called for …
Type, type, type …
Words, words, words …
My editor now reads it …
Delete, delete, delete …
Delete, delete, delete …
I have a two-line stanza.
