Song Writing
Attempt No. 1
How do I make it easier?
For it’s coming out all wrong
It’s so bloody hard to write the words
Of what you hope will be a song
Do the verses and the chorus
Have to be in jaunty rhyme
And what about the melody
Should that also keep time?
Will the listener even understand?
The things I’m trying to say?
Would a record company like it?
And ask DJs to play?
And what if it became a hit
That teenage kids would sing
Then Interviews with magazines
Wouldn’t that just be the thing?
But I’m getting too far ahead of myself
I always do, I know
So I must sit and concentrate
And wait for words to flow
And now, umpteen attempts later
My brain is going insane
So I think I’ll tear this version up
And later, start again
Ah, the classic case – waiting for the muse; and well put marvo.
