Excuses
Well, it’s week five
and I’m still alive,
but can’t bend my mind
from the daily grind;
two stories to write
(and make ‘em bright)
before August’s end,
then off to send.
Though it’s true that I could easily
dash something off and so be free,
it’s windmills and they demand of me
my very best conceivably.
And so I must for these few days
employ my mind in other ways,
and then devote remaining hours
to what may be my dwindling powers.
Apologies that I’m forced so late,
but hope result will be worth the wait.
Line count: 18
Rhymed basically in couplets but with varied meter (I can’t help it - I’m in a hurry!)
