MY CAREER AS A WRITER IS OVER
Time has taken its toll
on the turnpike of my life,
my revolutionary pencil
lost the battle of Ticonderoga,
my verb conjugation
lacks inspiration,
I grope for the right words
but my thoughts are tongue-tied,
my commas hang limp,
my semi-colons suffer from
intellectually depressed periods,
sentences seem imposed,
my wit quit,
I don’t know what to write
or wrong,
so, good-bye,
it’s time to leave the lead in,
my career as a writer is over.
