PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

He stared down at the paper

But the paper stared right back

Thought he'd have a break

So he went and got a snack



He came back with a vengeance

And a cup of Java Joe

Sharpened up his pencil

But the paper said "HELL NO!"



So he chewed upon the pencil

'Til he nearly had a stroke

He tilted back his chair

And rocked it 'til it broke



Picked himself up off the floor

And paced it to and fro

'Til finally it occured to him

What makes a writer so



"I think I have the key!", said he

"Although it may sound trite"

"I must have something great to say

Before I start to write!"
