"Writer's Block Jock"

You say you're fighting writer's block?

It's got you in its vapor-lock?

And so you're pausing to take stock

Of why you're here?

At times words flow without a care;

The ink's not dry; another's there

So easy—it just isn't fair!

But now—

You're *here*.

Why here?

Why now?

That deadline looms

While nascent thoughts stall in their wombs

As you imagine countless dooms

And *gasp* for air.

Breath deeply!

There's no need to fear!

The muse is running late this year;

Undoubtedly she'll soon be here

To ease your care.

A writer's life is full of joys

For every weight, a counterpoise

So, Join us!

All you girls and boys!

Adventure rare awaits.

~FIN~
