Ten Minutes
I've got ten minutes to pen a rhyme.
What can I do with so little time?
Well, maybe jot down random thoughts
Do they rhyme? Maybe not.
Scratch them off and try again?
Task the mind or task the pen?
White paper waits as seconds tick
A better pen might do the trick.
I hate this crappy useless Bic.
5 minutes gone and I still feel thick.
So I'll cut it short and post these lines
Not clever but taking half the time!
