A Serious Poem

Okay, It's time to write a serious poem Enough of that funny stuff I can write one without the humor It's doesn't look that tough Let me see now, where do I begin? The rain in spain falls mainly in the plain Ok, this may be harder than I thought And it could even be somewhat a pain I know I can do it though, wait and see This poem's not finished yet I mean, it's only just words right? How much harder can it get Okay, now I think I got it Just wait til you see my next line It's coming don't get impatient You just gotta give me some time Alright now, I think I'm ready Maybe a poem about romance To be or not to be, no that's not it Wait!, don't leave, give me another chance Maybe I'll write about heartbreak "Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn" Alright, I give up, I would love to write this stuff But I guess I never can I guess my life's been chosen for me I'm just on a different path You can write the serious stuff And I'll just make people laugh
