Free 30-Day NaPo Trial

The authorities wish to inform
your 30-day trial’s now over
let life be returned to a norm -
sleep sound and drink tea and recover
 
The nightmares will slowly recede
as ‘fifty’ becomes just a number
no longer invoking a scream
when waking in midst of your slumber
 
And as for that stressed word ‘unique’
with word-counts that trouble on-line
it sits next to ‘unisex’ — peak
in the dictionary — everything’s fine
 
Please note that the 30-day trial
required lots of sweat by a team
who ran it with ever a smile,
enabling all of our dreams
 
The rest of the year lies before you -
post short or as long as you please
to gather more fans who adore you
unpressured, and writing with ease
 
God speed in your calm convalescence
and here is our sure guarantee
by March you’ll regain enough presence
to sign up in twenty-twentee.
