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?
