Taken today off, not much done so far
Came quite close to the 900-page end
Of the doorstop novel half-read before
Cyprus, and that is 'Our Mutual Friend'
By Charles Dickens - it drives me round the bend
Wondering how he did it - must have been quick
And easy for him, especially back then
When all drafts were on paper and pen. Nipped
The reading in the bud, cooked lunch, equipped
Myself with energy. I've left an hour
And a half before the car collection
From the central Manchester branch of Sixt
Me and Carla are off to Lymm to score
Comedy success, win colleagues and friends
