shades of tristram shandy




timing is everything

 

 

 

 

 

had some little thing, a phone call

an itch

a sudden urge for a nestle's crunch

 

delayed, even for a second

my parents' coitus

they would still have had their son or daughter

 

but it would not be me

and i would not have to write and run

and run and write

 

but blessedly

not be

I like this very much. :-) Nice rhyme and flow and your distinctive way of thinking with just enough of a touch of the philosophical.
