Not Enough Time To Write

There’s not enough time to write my poems For I met a nice guy and need to get to know ‘em There’s not enough time to write my books For sometimes I eat, so I have to cook There’s not enough time to write my songs Even if I make them short and not too long There’s not enough time to write my stories For the dog keeps barking and that gets annoying There’s not enough time to do my stuff Ask me how I know there’s just not enough ‘Cause my notes are all full of unfinished rhymes Even though I try to write all my spare time The works on the page need to be named Cause If they catch on, they might live for an age For if I die, I’m not famous enough For any of you guys to publish that stuff Will probably go on out with yesterday’s lunch Cause right now it looks like a pile of junk So give me some time to scribble away And put the words together to make a refrain How do I do this when I have to eat This lately has become one of my biggest feats I just can’t quit my nine to five For I need a little money to stay alive I want to write a song or a book that hooks But still want some time to check my look So I work on late into the night Till I think one of ‘em has come out just right Then I make a new post right before bed And I go to sleep happy to rest my head For Happiness comes from time to time My friends are happy too, cause then I don’t whine I must say goodbye now for I need to rhyme And then I know that bliss, soon will be mine
