I wannabe a writer, earning megabucks
But when I look at what I wrote I think ‘Oh Christ it sucks.’
I could do with a new angle, a large vocabulary
Some cool subject matter that’s not about me.
—
An interesting character – get inside their head
So the dialogue doesn’t clunk
And you believe what I wrote, they said.
—
A plot would be good, something fresh and intriguing
That moves along the action,
Provoking some reaction
—
I’m in complete despair
Pull something from the air
Get it down if you dare
Come on, you’re nearly there
—
It still sucks.
