Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

I Wrote a Line (with apologies to Johnny Cash)

I keep my notebook open all the time

I keep my pencil lead sharp and very fine

One night I sat and stared from six till nine

In all that time, I wrote a line

 

This bloody writing takes up all my time

The words go spinning round inside my mind

My brain is always searching for a rhyme

Because one time, I wrote a line.

 

I've got a real bad case of writer's block

I feel I'm always up against the clock

If I come up with somthing I'm in shock

Last night was fine, I wrote a line

 

Perhaps my brain's gone rusty over time

I tried some WD40 mixed with wine

And tumbling keep the words now just out fine

Many's the time, I wrote a line

 

Now I just sit here rocking all the time

I wear the straightest jacket they coud find

And now my mouth and brain just won't align

They won't align, I wrote a line.

Have you ever drunk WD40 mixed with wine and tried to say "And now the words keep tumbling out just fine?"

Nice one indeed but what does "And tumbling keep the words now just out fine" mean?

Hi Dave,

I love it when someone takes an idea (or a line for that matter) and runs with it. Made me smile with humour and admiration. I reckon "The Man in Black" will be smiling too.

Regards,
A.E.
