My uneducated quill
Has twenty-six letters
Jammed into its boorish point
An aging hand thinks it has absolute control
Over the variations, mutations and limitless possibilities
Foolish child

Thundering down upon its weak and inefficient frame
With no regard for its unfettered mind
And unblemished soul
Freed
Words would flow
Margaret blush
Leaving a muddled world to wonder
Where's my beer

Breathy verse

Has twenty-six letters
Jammed into its boorish point
An aging hand thinks it has absolute control
