The Writer’s Curse

The  Writer’s Curse

by Lord R.e. Taylor

This is a warning 

A condition all of us have

One that every writer fears

It will come to you someday 

And there is nothing you can do

Try sitting down at your keyboard

Type in just one or two words

Your mind will shut down

Your fingers will freeze where they are

And you may start to cry a bit

But do not worry it is not fatal 

Just chill and drink a bottle of Jack

Watch some really bad television

And do NOT think about those two words

Give it a week or two...maybe a month 

Then sit down at your keyboard and try again

If you write an entire sentence, you are cured

But if you only do two words

Get the Jack, turn on the TV, and forget about everything 

Hopefully, that will work for you

But remember, there is always Jack and TV

If you ever need them
