Think Before You Write

pen, paper, stereo, a tapper me with Eric B a nice plate of fish before you begin to take the great plunge with the pen hold your breath and count to the number ten box, dice, loose change & credit card we get tide up with knots hands that welcome new pursuits never relent in your pursuits rejection letters there is a part that explodes in me e mails in the delete function learn to think before you write what did your contemporaries do perhaps we have bitten off far more then we could chew a renegade that's got it made faces in the window with storms in the night learn proper grammar put into the right format working to hard can give you a heart attack learn from your mistakes call it fate yet someday you will succeed it's called determination knock you to your knees
