Writers Block

From pen to paper my words will not flow, oh how frustrating, i want to shout. How i wish  i 
could think of lyric or line, to put on paper that would look so fine.

What iv'e got is common enough, it's called writers block you see, it happens to the best of 
us you know. It can  last a day, month, month  or year. It  brings misery instead of cheer.

Knowing that i have words to share, doesnt help  or imporove things at all. I might as well 
then throw my pen  away and go up the the wall.

Wildly humorous, John. When this happens, I usually do housework for a while. Later, I'm always glad to pick up the pen again. Nice work!
