Got to get it down now
Before I forget.
It’ll just take a few moments.

That’s all, I promise as
I start on problem ten.
I’ll work on it in a moment.
Don’t nag me, I’m busy.
Can’t work on that now.

And yet he persists.
Finish me, pay me heed,
He pleads, refusing to be ignored.
Don’t you love me, don’t you care
As I sit in these dark depths waiting
For your spark of inspiration
To light our way?

I grind away at problem ten
And answer back weakly,
No, not right now, I’ve stuff
To do, stuff to finish—
Stuff more important than me?
He asks with a pout.
Just for a few moments,
That’s all I ask.  It’ll be enough.
(Or so he says.)

The music in my head plays.
He turns up the volume eagerly,
Whispers suggestions that
Draw me away, Trigger a thought
Unrelated to the work before me.
Off goes the gun, a loud shot,
That can’t be left for later.
Got to get it down now
Before I forget.
I’ll just take a few moments
That’s all.
you know it's happened to you. ;)
