Lazy Hand
My handwriting has always been untidy. Yet I still prefer to write first and then type it up later. How many of us still like to handwrite drafts first?
Lazy Hand
Lazy hand
On the page
Taking
The shortest route
From letter to letter.
My handwriting –
Or scribble –
Was never good.
A spidery script
Over the lines
May better describe
What appears
on the page.
I have been seen
Practising
My best squinty stare
In a vain attempt
To decipher
Or decode
A word
I had written.
With the times of typing
Has my lazy hand
Improved
Or honed its hazy ways?
Nay
It is worse!
As it zigzags
Across
The page.
