Got writer’s block?
Oh, thou dreary muse, that leaveth,
Me uninspired, at my keyboard,
So befuddled, so confused!
You reproach me with your
Genius, oh your tedious derision,
It annoys me it destroys me,
Oh, must I make another stupid revision?!
Akin to an amateur physician, you execute the wrong incision,
You murder me with your indecision,
Remember, I’m the one with the cloudy vision!
So sullen in my sorry hour,
Of dire, dank despair,
But still thou dost not care!
I seek a ration of thy illumination,
I implore yonder angels from fair heaven,
Oh great wonders who darest to repair,
All my many frivolous of errs.
If thou find my devotion so staunch and rare,
Environ me in an ocean of inspiration,
To inundate the dragon’s flames,
And save me from his treacherous lair!
