\n<\/strong>This poem was written at a computer
\nIt probably won’t get published on the page<\/p>\n
\nHighly unlikely to grace the local cabaret stage<\/p>\n
\nIt’s functional but was written under duress<\/p>\n
\nBut endeavours not to make much of a mess<\/p>\n
\nOr sustain itself with lots of lousy rhyme<\/p>\n
\nAnd found an easy route to the finish line<\/p>\n
