Writing Like the Dickens

It’s so hard to start Brain and pen, poles apart Yet two lines in, the pace quickens Soon you’re writing like the dickens Thoughts stream in and out your head Fish them out, else they’re left unsaid Moments ago, you left yourself for dead Now a bird aloft, your words ~ wings spread

It's the 'Mary Poppins' in me, I imagine.

Wish that this meant Charles Dickens. I could use a few coppers in my cap, eh?
