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?"
