A Poet's Life

A Poet's life is an awkward one,

She sits with pen and paper in the hand

Writes down what comes into her head

Prints it up, reads it through,

Only to find that someone

Can't understand

A blinking' word she's written

The most frustrating part

Is that she understands it perfectly well

So now she must explain and tell

What the whole thing is about.

At times, a Poet's Life

Just wants to make you scream and shout

So, you take pen in hand again

Hoping what you write this Time

They will understand.
