After ~2000 words I started to wonder why my characters express themselves in this particular, and some would say peculiar, fashion
These are their stories.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To write angst there's a trick
Or readers laugh 'till they're sick
Joan will freely admit
She can't do it a bit
As she managed to learn real quick
If her job left her time
Eames would publish true crime
Putting Ann Rule to shame
She'd be on top of her game
And wouldn't have to care if it rhymed.
Would her friends look askance
If Irene wrote romance?
Though Bobby inspires
The genre still requires
Talent at which she haven't a chance.
Penning dramatic prose
Is what I'd have chose
But when it comes to the crux
My prose really sucks
Que sera - but that's just how it goes!
