Writing a Poem Today

Writing a poem today with really nothing much to say make it rhyme anyway and with words I will play Keep it short or long give it lyrics of a song Make it personnel or to all belong maybe it will be liked by someone Should my poem be sad or gay should it lecture and persuade or just be silly in it's way Writing a poem today Happy thoughts of jest or torture soul of loneliness Love is cruel or love is best finding those words to express Political point made shrewd proclaiming a religious view Or keep it tame and smooth joyful with a tint of blue Write it safe do not disturb carefully select each word Or damn it all the world's a turd let it go with the absurd Writing a poem today with really nothing much to say Will it come out anyway Writing a poem today
