notebook sleeps on my lap
fingers flexing a stubby stylus
words won't work wonders
i better take an early nap.

blank is this empty slate
nothing can fill this space
recipient sent no response
bet he received it late?

waited one week's worth
reply reached reader's
she shrieked, shouting:

"writer wrote it wrong
sentences sounded strong
cursing became its greeting
its ending needed no reading."
