Immersed - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

Immersed in split infinitives
My brain has little left to give
Things are getting pretty grim
So I must confess my synonyms
I'll travel cross the continent
In search of missing consonants
An occasional vowel I may drop
While writing many malaprops
In pursuit of affirmations
While avoiding alliteration
I don't want things to be misconstrued
But I'm in a subjunctive mood
I'm hoping for some simile
While trying to retain my dignity
I've been down this road before
In search of helpful metaphor
