I pick up some paper… I write something on it…

The next thing I know is I’ve written a sonnet:

I wandered off, upon a summer’s day.

My object was to go in search of food.

I left the town, and then, not far away,

My wand’rings brought me to a shady wood.

The branches of the trees were all too high,

And so, alas, there was no food in reach;

And dark it was: I longed to see the sky,

So off I walked, though pine and oak and beech.

I left the wood, and nearby found a field;

(The sun was shining there), and round it grew

Some shrubs and thorns – and then I saw, revealed,

My favourite food, some gorse, and thistles too.

I ate and ate, till I could eat no more;

Then sauntered home, to rest upon the floor.
