Popping the cork

You writers confound me.

Tickle me.

Tease me.

Torture me.

How do I write like that, too?

Show don't tell they say.

Your grammar sucks in a really big way.

If only it were numbers I could display,

then show don't tell would certainly play.

How do I write like that, too?

I have to practice what comes easy to some.

But I suppose they feel the same about easy found sum.

Wanting what we don't have we sometimes succomb,

nearly forgetting the challenge we mustn't shy from.

How do I write like that, too?

The secret I think is to never stop pressing the keys

Because that would be a fate worse than disease

A mind fully exercised is never appeased

For it seeks to learn what is not yet expertise

I will write like that, too.
