Couldn't care less

Words
like a cackling of birds

Attention

End

    This is like your trademark form now, I suggest you try the acrostic verse form if you are doing this more often. That should add to the fun. :)

    Well done. I particularly liked the couplet, "Need will never know heed". Insightful.
