Thinking Inside the Box
I wanted to write something different
Perhaps a little unorthodox
See from a new perspective
Something outside the box
This box is the king of all cliches
Cure for unimaginative thoughts
I'm trying to be more creative
By getting inside the box
What's wrong with thinking inside it?
It's not let me down so far
I happen to thrive in its squareness
It's where my innovation starts
This proverbial box that I think in
With its reliable rigidity
I think that thinking the obvious
Is now vintage creativity.
