Funfinger
fingers flying linguistic leaping reaping words of wondrous harvest
never looking at the keys so many words appear with ease
Would that I could be so good but finally I’ve understood
Why I never took the time to learn to finger words so well
The words the thoughts in dreams in rhyme to cause or curse
To last in time are just a part to play to say hello to others on the way
And there’s no way to even think completed thoughts as fast as they
Whose fingers fly in patterned habit
But once the lines are there to see I find the editor in me
Can play along as if a song was running through the verses
And the druid laughs aside with joy as rhythmic rhyme immerses
The constant beat as words repeat the feat of rhyme is wicked neat
What matter that the words are slow I find the joy is ever in my mind
Looking at the keys in hunt and peck
