What should I write?
How should I write?
Today I'll set poetry aside
I just don't feel right.

My ideas are far from bright
my imagination has taken flight
my heart has feelings hard to describe
I suffer from the worst poetic plight.

Did I eat something wrong last night?
(The clinic is closed--I can't see Dr Shirley Kite)
my frustration seems to reach the height
I feel like someone who has lost his sight.

But why should I write?
I am paid nothing for what I write
poetry I must set aside
then I would be just right!
