For Writer's Cramp Prompt: A cure for writer's cramp |
Ink pen clenched in her scribbling right hand Why, it's a cinch! She's in command Fast and furious words pour out While Kitty sits lonely his face in a pout There's just no time for rubbing fur When words keep coming in a whir There's just no room for a cat's meow With sweat now dripping from her brow Chasing her task with heart and soul Telling the story that has to be told On my, she muses, my hand's cramping up I can't stop now I'm just ramping up! It must be the dreadful writer's cramp A condition well known in the writing camp It comes at a time when least expected When deadlines are looming and life is more hectic With eyes glazed over and ears fully ringing With fingers that ache and toes now tingling She takes a deep breath to let it all go Looks up from her task saying "Oh, I know!" How silly of me to forget in my fury There is an answer to my twenty year query How to avoid this awful condition That threatens to stop my current rendition When there on my desk, "Oh my, Lord" Is my state of the art computer keyboard How silly I say that I suffer with pen When tap, tap is easier than writing by hand.
