18 minute poem  (11.46 PM)

So another poem it is to be
18 minutes long, I think, I�ll see
How many words can be produced
What will say - and what�s it�s use?

Verse 2 is here
but not for long
look now it�s here
now it�s gone

Verse 3, I say
Should be thought through
But it isn�t
So bugger you

More verses from my felt tip drawn
Splattered on the page like the breaking dawn
Words complete - some oblong
Oh shit, verse 4 - It�s all gone wrong

Verse 5 + my brain screams
What�s the subject matter gonna be?
Will people know just what I mean
They expect it to be
neat and clean

Shal I mislead them
- make them think
Skatter images to them
*

I could use a metophor here and there
Writing a poems like cutting your hair
Why Oh why, the logic missed
Oh crap! This  verse has turned to shit

Doug went to work one day
Then he moved far away
What the fuck rhymes with that?
Gosh, timed poems make you look like a twat

Buggered that rythmn up
I�m writing blind
A mystery novel
From a feint behind

Ten minutes gone
and never missed
how the fuck
Do you get paid for doing this

It�s just a hobby
a big long rant
But how the fuck
Do you get a lottery grant

So many poets
So much to say
Words mainly -
But arranging them can be difficult

Now how much time is left
I suppose I�d better try and write something good
but this is very contemporary
so hopefully people will like
the new aged stuff
or they�ll think it�s shite

18 minutes is one hell of a long time
To write a bunch of sodding rhyme
Still I bet it�ll be OK
but nobody will ever read it ever

How does my imagination fair with the best
Is it up there or sunk down
like er....a dripping tear in a tangerine clown.

How long will this remain around
What will people think of what I�ve made
and will I actually get paid

I suspect not
cos I�ve used 16 of my designated minutes up already
There�s no time for redraft!
Ah bugger. But I�m glad I�ve tried
There�s a moral here
Think before you write
else it�s a bunch of rambling shite!

Oh...last minute I think
I�ll end it a minute early
It was worth a try
a bunch of swearing
steams from inside

You try and do better in 18 mins you better than me fucker
I�m shit today

(Concluded 6 mins past twelve 8th Dec 2000 - 18 mins later - I dunno)
