Except for now.

And if I was allowed one more line that one above is what it would be. But I'm not so it can't be.

I enjoyed writing this so much. I just let it come, no contrivance, just typing away as the words arrived. The rhymes maybe took a little more work but all of the words just popped into my head and I ran with them until I snatched them and placed them into this poem where they belong. No freedom for them!
