008 - Blockage

I might have writer’s block

It’s lowering my stock

As a struggling

Poet

Maybe I should call a Doc

It’s getting quite a strain

And it can sometimes cause pain

To write down

Words

Using my fevered brain

It is a lonely life

Sat here with my wife

Trying to think of

Things

That adequately describe my life

Perhaps I’m trying too hard

Maybe I should disregard

The daily

Attempts

To become a bard

No, I’ll carry on when I can

Unless I’m issued a ban

But please just

Remember

I’m a very busy man
