Aspirations of a novelist
Trying to recreate the magic
Of good times long past
They weren’t that great in fact
Just that today things
Move along much rather fast
Writing to educate
But the plot is unclear
Can’t seem to graduate
To the level of prolific story teller
So much wisdom to share
But the paper and pencil
He’s just giving a long stare
Then a little voice whispers
Hell, I wonder if you
Could put it in a song
Maybe I’ll hit the books again someday
But for now I got bills to pay
And a few things to write about today
