In need of unusual wording am I
To begin a poetical tale.
Maybe on history ~ maybe romance
Worldly subjects that never fail.
My writing skill is slightly outdated
Genius doesn't stretch too far!
But if I have no title by midnight
I'm away for a ride in my car...
Not forgetting my notebook and pen
Inspiration may come from the Galaxy
My friend. The Sirius or Polaris star.

Joyce Hemsley
