The dice soon will no longer fall,
For initiative rolls soon no more call
Will be at table made;
The game is near-played,
And the last round I cannot forestall.
A few days remain in the month, but I’ll remain available to write for you, if you’d like!
I regret that but eight months remain
In which some might voice the refrain
That we are at war–
But where is the store
That itself with Christmas is pained?
I’m still good to go for you; let me know what you want below!
The bonfire burned, hot and bright,
Surrounded by revels that night,
But I didn’t care
Or want to be there,
So I ended up picking a fight.
Still want me to write for you? Let me know below!
That it’s easy for me to say “no”
Is a wrongness, as I do well know.
For me to say “yes”
More would be for the best,
But I seldom can let myself go.
Want me to write for you? Let me know below!
There is a thing I regret most,
A thing of which I never boast,
A thing I’ll not say
Till my dying day–
Or after, if I am a ghost
Want me to write for you? Let me know below!
In days past, I did travel far,
Followed a wandering star,
Expended my wealth.
I still have my health,
But prodigal memories jar.
Follow my lead to get good writing done!
I‘ve mostly been stolid and staid;
That I’m no fun has often been said.
I did never much toke
When I was with such folk
As for that task had much outlaid.
I’ve got, like, writing for you!
That I do not do more, I regret,
And that I’ve not figured out yet
How to carry on,
For this is no song,
And wayward my path’s not been set.
We’re nearly two-thirds done, but there’s still time for you to get my writing for your own!
With shame, I am gripped by the throat
When I read over what I once wrote.
How inept the pen
That I wielded then,
Yet to writing I still me devote.
Yet fewer days remain than have passed this month, but there yet remains time to get writing done for you!
That I waited so long is a shame,
And it’s only myself I can blame
For making delay;
How I did have to pay
For treating my work as a game!
Still fewer days remain than have passed this month, but remains time to get writing done for you!
