My book of rhymes

is missing.

It has the words I need

to write a perfect poem

of a hero and his steed.

Writing now is very slow,

words refuse to flow.

My adventuring hero is running late.

Nothing seems to rhyme

and I am trying to update

but he might not get there in time.

He might not get the prize,

whatever that might be,

all because my book of rhymes

is missing.
