That was  a one off. I never wrote one before and haven't felt the 
urge since. I  told you I was possessed that day or something. Actually 
until now that  bit of doggerel was my private secret. It was hidden away in 
my computer  unseen by anyone but me.



Judging by the quality I would suggest that you keep a writing pad nearby  
and write the lines that inspire.  Sometimes poetry oozes in twilight times  
such as in early morning waking up moments, or when has had an exhilarating  
experience, or a time of quiet observation, or some sudden shock to the  system.  
Some people spend hours in agony trying to get out what is within  while 
others simply stop what they are doing, and let the pen do the creative  discovery. 
 Once in an argument with a past wife I came to a blank moment  and said, "I 
don't know what to say."  She replied, in a snippy way, "My  English teacher 
said that one should just begin with a declarative  sentence."  She was correct 
and he was right and I have found that advice  to be true.  To get the truth 
that lies within to come out it is necessary  to begin by talking, & writing, 
and the rest of the story is the  result.
