Writers Block

The words will not flow
But they are there  this I know
Oh boy, this has made me humble
As I sit here and grumble
Mind over matter
My spouse begins to chatter

What? A rhyme?
This could be a sign
Quickly let me write this down
Before the thought is gone

What? My pen's out of ink
My heart begins to sink...
Now what were those words again?
