ULTIMA

Ultima
N: the last syllable of a word.

It was twelve twenty-one,
And Kate thought she was done.
But Alas, it was not to be,
Even though her eyes were closing dangerously.
She had vowed to write a piece a day,
“A new adventure I have embarked upon,” she would say.
The word was Ultima, the last syllable of a word,
To give up now would be absurd.
She was so close,
If she did not finish, she would be totally morose.
“That’s it!” She exclaimed,
“I’ll write a poem, besides this is not for fame.”
The poem was finally complete,
It was no extraordinary feat.
She chanted to herself, “Way to go Katie!”
She relaxed, because finally she could go pee.
