What should I write a poem about?
That is something I would like to figure out.
There’s lots of folks who could write a decent poem,
And what is more, I’m pleased to say I know ’em:
There’s Shelley and there’s Yeats and there’s Edgar Allan Poe,
But how they wrote their poems is something I don’t know.
What should I write a poem about?
I feel that I’ve attempted ev’ry route.
I tried to write some poems without a form or rhyme
And it came out as pure nonsense ev’ry single time!
I even tried to write in other than my native tongue,
And bless me, what a Götterdämmerung!
What should I write a poem about?
That is something I can’t seem to figure out.
Dig it! (hear fingers snapping)
