I get a certain mindset when I put words to a screen
Formality and sombreness there really is no need
I worry over structure, I try to seem profound
But all the really matters is how it's going to sound
So now instead I'll jot it down the way the words appear
The way I do when out with friends and only they will hear.
I'll overcome the serious, just try to make it rhyme
Even if that mean I have to fudge the final line.

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)
I fall into the trap often when writing of overthinking the words I use. I attempt to use clever analogies and hidden meanings.
When with mates I enjoy changing song lyrics to fit the situation. All that matters is it fits the structure of the song and (sometimes) rhymes. It's a lot of fun - so why do I never write this way?
Here's a poem served raw and as it comes
