I think of all the time I spend
reading/writing -- to what end?
No one will ever publish this,
I'll print it out and wrap some fish.
I've read a lot of poetry,
sonnets, haiku, potpourri;
sestinas, pantoums, villanelles,
and one writTEN without no Ls.
Some stories have been nicely writ,
with punctuation all through it,
and words spelled close as they will get
and plots--well, we're not quite there yet.
One day I'll be a famous author
like Dr. Seuss or Jeffy Chaucer
like Patterson in ev'ry genre
Aussies will say "Hey, Good on ya!"
Until then I will labor on
reading/writing dusk to dawn,
building up my powers of pen
and starting books on chapter ten.
