As it is within our nature that we do things to excess
please excuse the nomenclature ( does that word fit? Yeah, I guess.)
"Ipso" when it comes to writing it is my one true belief,
"Facto" nothing's more delighting than me keeping these things brief.

As you see, I did not waver, but got right down to the point.
I would not risk your dis-favor and go stinkin' up the joint,
nor engage in wasted prattle on my part, though I confess,
I am sometimes prone to rattle on about "Bewilderness"

No,wait that's not right I meant to say "about Bewilderment".
It's the only place they'll let me stay since " The Experiment"
which has left me so befuddled when I am under duress,
that the only way I can relate poetically's a mess!

No, there is no cure, but, as it were, none's needed either, see?
For, the truth is that I can obscure all trace of this from thee.
I shall hide it 'tween the lines where no one looks and I profess,
that dis-orders such as mine often reside, but, I digress.

For the purpose of this poem was not to write an epic tale
or to verbiously roam on down some path that's doomed to fail.
For indeed, the more I say, the lower odds are for success,
to complete this "brief" essay within a million words, or less.
