A WRITER'S PROBLEM
ŠThe Goatherder



Most of the time in what I read People who write Have one problem indeed And that is a subject which to write about. But not being a writer No doubt, I indeed have a leg up On all of those who profess to be. I write about critters and things, Things I have seen and Some I even understand. But most of all what I write is About something that Is interesting to me! About something from which I can extract A smile, or a smirk, Heck even a grin. When I am penning these things I grin, I smile, I smirk and I wince. And I often reminisce! I think of things I have done, I think of places I have been, And oh yeah, I think of all the jams I have been in! I think it is funny, but I guess not to them For I just sit down and let the Mind wander and try to see if The fingers can keep up and land On the home keys! I write for pleasure, I write for fun, But most of all Writing to me, Is a big success. If Someone reads my little essays And laughs or grins, or If maybe even smirk, They know where I have been. So all of you Longfellows and Keats And Poes and Frosts; Forget the Pulitzer you want And be like me. Just write what you think And if it is humorous to you, then I would bet someone like me Will sit up and grin. But most of all to you few Who read this, When in doubt and if You have any fears, Go climb a tall tree and Look all around. Observe the sky Observe the trees Relax, enjoy. And if you are lucky like me You may have someone To climb the tree with thee. (tomWYO, Nov 14, 99)
