Thanks all.
The rhymes are meant to be loose, Billy. Very loose!3rd line needs attention, yeah.

Tectak.I thought someone might pick up on reports/measuring. I think "confirming" is a good suggestion, ta. "Drunkenness" it has always been for me.
"A cameo of commitment verse" - I thought I knew what you meant by commitment verse. Now I'm not at all sure.

Shit.....I wrote drunkedness to see if it looked right then decided it didn't That's why it's stuck there all alone! Apologies
Commitment verse is where the writer shows a dedication, throughout the piece, to a specific ending. It is often a difficult task, especially in long pieces, as the muse takes control and leads the writer down cul de sacs and labrynthian paths.
In this piece it would have been a great surprise if the closing line was anything other than what it was. That is not to say you were predictable.....just that you were committed
Best,
Tectak
