Tired

There once was a poet so tired
She tried writing though quite uninspired.
	She rubbed eyes and she yawned
	‘Til it finally dawned
On her – she lacked the spark she required.

I like how this was less of a funny limerick and more of a contemplative one. Some people just don't have that "spark" - and it takes time to finally realize it.

I can relate to this poem in every sense. Inspiration can sometimes be really hard to come by.
