I know I moan and whine
until I think I have the time
to waste an evening with jokes .
And if I put it on the site,
I know I’ll see the light
and I’ll be leaving with yolks.

Then afterwards I rack my tired brain
and all the rhymes go wrong.
And then I go and spoil it all
by spoofing somethin’ stupid like a love song.

I can see it from reviews
that I should use a diff’rent line;
not from the verse before.
And though it’s just one fr*ckin’ line,
it wasn’t fine.
It sounded terse before.
I’m writing ev’ryday to find
some clever lines. No fear I’ll get the gong.
But then I’ll think I’ll wait until my ratings abate
so I won’t face the throng.
And then I go and spoil it all
by spoofing somethin’ stupid like a love song.

I think I’m right.
The O-S swamps my head
as I turn red.
and then I hum along.
And then I go and spoil it all
by spoofing somethin’ stupid like a love song.

A love song.
A love song

(buries head in hands awaiting the hook).

A love song.

(A distance “YOINK” sound is heard off-line).
