A lovely ten-verse poem was written earlier on ...

Some wonderful thoughts had been aptly phrased in a song ...

And then the browser all of a sudden closed down

Leaving me in anguish, and a terrible deep frown



Try as I might, I could not find again those words

The ones that started out the piece that's now unheard

Although truncated phrases used, keep fluttering by

But they're now lost in cyberspace ... and I don't know why



- Tristram
