There's writers block in my urethra

I've not been around the WC lately so I gotta dust my skills off

I tried to write some fancy verse 

I couldn't find a rhyme 

I threw my meter at the cat 

So now I'm out of time 

My words they disappeared on me 

Up in a puff of smoke 

I screw around with this keyboard 

and then I start to choke 

I swear I wrote this all before

The lines all look the same 

How many rhymes can I commit 

and keep my muse aflame 

And though I'm good at doing this 

This rhyming writing shtick

It doesn't feed that old bulldog 

when past due bills are thick 

The world won't hold her baited breath 

for my ingenious rhyme 

I had to go to work today

Where I earned every dime 

Perhaps I'm having writers block 

Perhaps I'm getting bored

No matter how you slice it up 

My skills can't be ignored 

So now I wrote another Rhyme 

to get back in the swing 

I'll post it on the old cafe

Where I can reign as king

More like court jester. Thanks kids

my poems all start looking the same to me also...i feel i wrote this before...i feel stale...
worst writers block to feel...and i do hope your cat was agile enough to avoid the meter you threw.

you never lose your touch, Mark.

You are the king! I've been busy but I also have had terrible writers block so I feel your pain. I love reading you even when you're not writing.

Lol. Love it!
I had writers block once and wrote a piece of forced garbage.
This is a fun humourous piece. :)
For sure the Jester, but that's way more fun!

Hi Baby Ricochet. Ah how many times have wee all been there and done that. I think writer's block is third in line after love and nature as a subject for poets. We all get, we all suffer, and then we all get back to work. love this, alf
