The silent TV set mourns
But next week there's joy

It makes me want to write prose
stories buried deep

Football? I prefer
to go climbing - not just trees
rocks and cliffs and such

Get out your pencil
Reader - find paper quickly
seize the moment - write!

The game sounds soothing
reminds me of a freedom

It is dark at night
Knights escape into the night
Wearing a nighty
