If I had but one, albeit unnatural, irresistible, awesome desire,

\nYet for want of sound sleep almost eleven hours forsaken
\n–Not to mention scrambled eggs and a rasher of frying bacon,
\nButtered toast, strawberry jam, some berries,one juicy melon–
\nI would not think of chilling, for writing poems is awfully thrilling.
\nSo using both rhyme and rhythm, my spirit stays quite willing
\nTo pen my slightly didactical, moreover pretty intractable, song
\nEschewing those conjunctions and prepositions overused,
\nAll the same, I must enthuse, I\u2019ve found neither patron nor muse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
