Sturgeon's Law

As I may have mentioned previously, I keep a notebook on the nightstand in case I think of something while I'm nearly asleep so I can remember it without having to wake myself up too much. A few nights ago I was drifting off when I thought of very minor edits I wanted to make to two of my existing poems. I knew that all I had to do was write down the word I wanted to change/add to each, and I'd remember what it meant in the morning. I wrote them down without even turning the lamp on and went to sleep. I did remember what they meant in the morning, but because of the way I wrote just one word for each, I now had a page of my notebook that looked like this:
-


lemurs
growl


-
That is all.
