I'm going downstairs to be a poet
|
Got a great idea: gonna write a sonnet
|
A verse or two of fearless prose
|
A priceless quip to gild the rose
|
I'll make my fortune overnight
|
My work will set the world alight
|
Just a line is all I need
|
Just a thought to sow the seed
|
Just a word to start me out.
|
The rest will come without a doubt
|
I'm going downstairs to write a book
|
Got a great idea's gonna really cook
|
A rattling good yarn with an ironic twist
|
A riveting ending that's not to be missed
|
Makesure the presses are ready to steam
|
This book is a scorcher, a publisher's dream
|
Just the first part's all I need
|
The rest will come with lightning speed
|
Just a line to set the stage.
|
My pen will dance across the page
|
I'm going downstairs to write a play
|
Got a great idea gonna make it pay
|
This serious drama won't be understood
|
The critics will love it and say that it's good
|
"At last a new writer, a true nouvelle vague"
|
In no time at all I'll be king of the stage
|
Just a story's all I need.
|
Just a thought to sow the seed
|
Just a line to start me out.
|
The rest will come without a doubt
|
