Yes, It's Just A Matter Of Time! Poem by Denis Martindale

Yes, it's just a matter of time before I write again,
Before I type something sublime, so I'll wait until then…
I won't press forward till it's here, yet my computer's on,
Once it's arrived, it's crystal clear, ignore it and it's gone!
But if I'm ready, watch me write that black text on my screen,
Upon a background oh so white, so brilliant and pristine…
And when I'm done, I'm not quite done, for editing persists,
Until I've really, really won and true success exists!
I make my saving file, of course, I backup this as well,
As if its safety to enforce before things go to Hell…
Then I press on towards the end - shared on the Internet,
As if it were a faithful friend that I'll not soon forget…
