Me

I.

Me.

That’s who.

I did it.

It’s what they all said

When they were assigning the blame.

All I tried to do was write lines with progressive length,

But ultimately I ran out of space to fit in all the words I need on one line;

And then it had to spill over, and I began to realise that it was frankly pointless to continue so I decided to stop.

I might try another of these Robert, but another line would need 55 syllables - a daunting task!

Trevor - I like the idea of this one, but feel it reaches its conclusion too soon. More of a build up please.
