Writer’s Block

Clark Steven Lupton

October 30, 2004





I don’t have a girlfriend

And I don’t have a wife

I couldn’t write anything right now

If it depended on my life



These things about me

May come to you as a shock

But that’s what happens to me

When I have writer’s block



That’s the way things are

I may think of words all day

But women won’t go for me

If I have nothing to write or say



Women don’t go for looks

Or for power or might

Women are looking for men

Who really know how to write



They could care less about what car you drive

Or if you can provide a comfortable home

A woman looks at how a man expresses himself

And how he writes a poem



They don’t care if you’re responsible

Or if you arrive on time

They care how you conjugate a verb

And how well you rhyme



A woman doesn’t care if you’re famous

Or if you own a bank

But she will eventually leave you

If your writing draws a blank



A woman will work on her feminine charms

And spend hours on her look

Because she really wants to be yours

As long as you can write a book



If you can’t write

There are two things you can be sure

Not only won’t you get the girl

You’ll also end up poor



If you cannot write

While everybody else can

You are doomed to be a loser

Writing is the measure of a man



So crank out those words!

Life will go your way….

But I guess I won’t get the girl for now

Because I have nothing more to say
