Just Want To Write Part 1 Prose Poetry

What do I write? Do I complain about the weather? Do talk about something I don't know anything about? Do I make up some gibberish? What is gibberish anyway? I decided I needed to look this word up. It says quote nonsense, rubbish, garbage, twaddle and claptrap unquote. And what did I discover? I thought I knew what nonsense meant but other than the above listed words it added ‘baloney, drivel, gobbledygook, hot air, noise, babble and jabber. Now how am I going to know which baloney I should use if I decide I want a sandwich? How do I know which word to use, baloney or boloney? It seems boloney is a var. of baloney. Does var mean variation? Now I am afraid to order this kind of sandwich not knowing which variation they will give me. I got into this much trouble with just the word baloney. What will happen if I put in drivel or gobbledygook. Lets try and see what kind of trouble I can get into. Gobbledygook means: nonsense, waffle, jargon, gibberish, mumbo jumbo, drivel. Do I dare order a waffle after finding it listed under gobbledygook?
