When I can't rhyme
When I won't  pick up a dime
     From the slime.

When I don't get it anymore
When rhyme flies out the door
    To return never more.

I dig out my trusty pen
Then look deep within
  And think where I have been.

What are you talking about Stevens?
What are you doing with the leavens?
I don't know. Leave me be. Ya see?
Some days I need to lose my pen.
And face the world with a grin.
Another five minutes wasted.

This is all in humor.
