What Was I Thinking
Wringing my hands, I struggle with format.
Flinging meter under the bus is a crime
Bringing Soupers a cringe. THEY know the game,
Ringing line after line in stylistic rhyme!
Jump into Lento? What was I thinking!
Dump the thesaurus I’m out of my league!
Slump into my chair, and give props to the Sponsor.
Lump up my defeat to battle fatigue.
