I bought a packet of inspiration
From a highway roadside stand
It only held one seed but that's all I would need
Is what the old man at the stand had said

So I went home and started the garden
In the very middle of my back yard
Planted the seed one inch deep
As per instructions on the card

I religiously watered it faithfully
Each and every day of the week
When the sprout of inspiration
Shot up to the sky like a ****

It must have had a gazillion branches
That birds of different colors landed and chirped
The fruit of inspiration is delicious to taste
As I now savor every word

If I ever come upon doubt and confusion
And find going on to be hard
I step outside for inspiration
That now grows in my back yard
