Time Without the Pen
when the urge is not there
you lack the feeling to contribute
letting your time so wistfully by
asking yourself why you do it
Doubts start to effect your mind
making you think this is not good
your confidence goes downwards
needing some good real boost food
When your time seems so idle
the pen must be your tool at use
for without it you can't do anything
the ink must flow like exotic juice
If the inks not flowing neither the mind
threatening to become so very stale
so be sure to keep it working
if not you'll be sent to jail
Keep the oil burning on your stove
so the flame's gives a lovely glow
showing time without the pen
must not be allowed to show!
