“Just a simple little ditty, not too long and not so witty, but a feel-good sweet refrain that I’m proud of all the same.” — Poet
I feel alright when I write
doesn’t matter day or night
Writing helps me clear my head
helps me sort all things I dread
Writer’s block tends to confuse
good to have a helpful muse
There’s not a more exciting caper
connecting mind and pen to paper
I feel alright when I write!

“Don’t knock it till you try it, writing’s free (don’t have to buy it), pen and paper (and a muse) is all you need — it’s guaranteed!” — Poet

Rhyme. © 2025 Mark Toney. —All right, everyone listen up. You savy wordsmiths may take exception to my use of "alright" instead of the more acceptable "all right." The following is Miriam Webster's concluding recommendation on the subject: "Use alright if you like it and don't care that it's not the favored form. There's nothing essentially wrong with it." Booyah! Besides, Pete Townsend used "alright," as did James Joyce (in one instance out of 38 for Ulysses), and even Mark Twain. So using alright is all right!
