I tried to write something tongue in cheek, i.e., possibly funny, about trying to write. For kicks I threw in a writing prompt inspired verse towards the end. It's the one that doesn't fit in. It's a song. 12 bar blues.
When all else fails just write the blues
Twelve bars, what’ve you got to lose.
Doesn’t have to be sad
Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad.
I got up this morning, had to go to work
I got up this morning, had to go to work
Got there and my friend was out
What a jerk.
I had to cover all day long cause she was out
Had to cover all day long cause she was out.
I know she wasn’t really sick
And that really pissed me off..
When all else fails I just write the blues.
When all else fails I sit and write the blues
It isn’t always sad, it isn’t always bad,
It’s just my words.
I went for a run, set a new PR
I went for a run, set a new PR
Remembered to stretch so I wouldn’t get stiff
About time.
I make up some verses that make no sense at all
I make up some verses that don’t make sense at all.
But that doesn’t matter
cause no one’s gonna listen anyhow.
I got a new job, start in around two weeks
I got a new job, start in around two weeks
That means I need to clean my desk
And pack my stuff up, geez.
I tried to write a funny song, but it didn’t work out well
I tried to write a funny song but it didn’t come out too well
The words seem trite
and the melody’s so bad it smells.
I’m sorry that I missed it, I’m stuck in ‘74.
Sorry that I missed it, I’m stuck in 74
A year out of high school
And college had me bored.
Twelve bar blues, I can make up lines all night
Twelve bar blues, I could sing this song all night.
I know it sucks
But I just need to write
