PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm looking for a quick way,

To copy down, what they say.

I've tried the tape and erase,

But batteries are lots, I find these days.



I've tried the pencil and the pad,

But good thick lead ain't easily had.

And always needing to have a rubber,

Can really be an awful bugger.



Laying 'em down, for a scan,

Does sometimes get right out of hand,

As it spills quite slowly on' the screen,

And makes corection a pursuant dream.



But firsts I mist get me a handful of notes,

With text and nimbers and highlighted quotes,

So I mest makes me take a book,

So I dint go thar fer jest me looks,

Entrusted withs a post o' pens,

I'll crooks meh ear and redee the lends.



And ef I find it can't be read,

I'll sink my teeth and sift my head,

For a lil' bit of sleepy verse,

That tho's I might miss-it, it might just work.
