00-The Drabble Tale (100 Words) Poem by Anthony D Bailey

For Suzanne

The drabbles in which I’ve dabbled are not just babble.
A creative text with rules to abide, next, don’t get vexed.
Microsoft word, of which you’ve heard, do I sound like a nerd?
Words it counts to the 100 amount, to help you keep account.
Have a theme, perhaps a dream, now set the scene!
Tell the story, unlike Jackanory, you can even make it gory.
Take a chance, a fairy tale romance or even bank finance?
Use your passion in any fashion, but don’t forget your ration.
Try to end with a twist, (clenched fist) , damn something I missed.
