No Good Ideas

I was going through my old stuff (last year or the year before that)...and I found this...

Note : Let's assume for all intents and purposes that I wrote this on a Thursday...



We have an assignment from school,
to create a poem that should be original and cool.
But alas, when I search my mind,
there's nothing there but a dull design

of a bad poem without metre or ryhme.

A good idea is far away from me,
as far as far away can be.
Poem after poem I try to write,
even going far into the night.

Games, movies and other things are crowding my thinking,
It's obviously making me concentrate less on writing,
After so long I'm becoming dismayed,
Oh-no ! It's due Friday !

No good ideas are coming to my head,
it's as if all my good ideas are dead.
What should I do about this pain ?
I just hope that my poem isn't lame.

Yes ! I know what to choose !
It seems that I just won't lose.
My idea has just woken from sleep.
I'll write a poem so good that people would weep.


Notice how all the lines rhyme...this doesn't happen anymore.
