Music Is My Writer's Block!

It really is...

Music Is My Writer's Block

I put on all my favorite songs

I settle down to write,

But then I stare blankly ahead

No great thoughts are in sight.

So then I listen to the songs

And laugh at what I hear,

Especially backwards songs like

Toxic by Britney Spears.

Eventually I realize that

I've sat here for an hour.

My cheese sandwich has gone all stale

My milk has now turned sour.

I sigh at all the wasted food

And toss those things away,

But now I need something else to

Keep dang hunger at bay.

I burn some toast and drop some chips

An hour's lost in cleaning,

I finally sit back in my seat

One of the legs is leaning!

My Dad will not be home till nine

I fix it by myself,

But then I realize that there are

Some cookies on the shelf!

By the time I'm done with "dinner"

It's three hours since start,

And all because I played some tunes--

Of me, that wasn't smart!

 

End.

Author's Note

The last rhyme was a little bit of a garbling, but you get the idea. I just can't write when music is playing, I want to listen more than write.
