a mystery solved

a riddle-like dilemma shows itself today

i find myself here again with nothing much to say

should it be an image that i conjure in my mind

should it be a concept that i search inside to find

should it be a missive to a friend so dear

should it be a story with a moral tier

the challenge here we see, now come into view

is to answer the question, what thing should i do?

what direction to take, what thing should i make

which words to write down, try clever or clown

and isn’t it easier to simply track the truth

and find that in so doing i become a sleuth

i’ve solved the very mystery that seemed in my way

looks like i have found yet another thing to say
