Poems.  It's what I do when I can't seem to get my books out of my head and onto a piece of paper (computer).  And much more when I've been drinking.  Here's a quick one, made up, on the spot.  It's ok.  The lisp part makes no sense but it's staying dammit.

A Mother's Love  -- 1879

Spoken with a lisp, tied with a twist,

some simple noose, a gasp

as she twitched,

a notch on a pole,

a boy in a hole,

buried too young,

on a rope she was hung.
