Writer's Block

Dammit, dammit, dammit, I cant think what to say!

It's just a freaking poem, it shouldn't take all day.

My fingers poised to punch the keys, awaiting inspiration.

Maybe something clever, or some cheap alliteration.

---

I want to be profound and wise, at least a little funny.

Or I could go the simple route and write up something punny.

Six lines in and I'm still stuck, whatever shall I pen?

I know I'm lying to myself, it's all beyond my ken.

---

I'll take a break, that's what I'll do. I'll be better in a while.

Well, I'm back, still nothing new. It's my skill that's now on trial.

The jury's back and by their glares I see it isn't good.

I can see I'm gonna get the ax, their lowering the hood.

---

My execution is a fitting ending to this dumpster fire.

To entertain and provoke some thought is all that I desire.

My total lack of any skill has me tossing out these turds.

And even at the end of it, I still can't find the words.
