A Mild Success in a Dull Business

[TranquillityBase]

Hi Tqb,
I'd quibble about mild (in the title), seems a bit unnatural in terms of speech, but ... I enjoyed the read.
You start of with something approaching a regular meter and rhyme, but then it promptly vanishes. Why? (If you don't want the rhyme, switch lines one and two)

The title/stolen quote is what inspired me to write this, so it is probably now expendable, though I'm very attached to it.

Why did I not continue with a regular meter/rhyme?  I simply didn't see it.  I think I'm meter deaf.

I'll look at sustaining that (the meter, not the rhyme).  I wanted "interlibrary loan" in there to emphasize the dullness of the subject.  But maybe there's a better way to do that.

Thanks for your input.
