Why put paper to pen. <br />Why oh why do it again. <br />Why look in the heart <br />to see what to write <br />and why suffer the thought <br />that perhaps its just trite. <br />Why give up your soul <br />for a verse that's sublime. <br />Tell me oh tell me <br />why take all this time! <br />I never have known <br />what's in it for me <br />to write yet more <br />of these words that you see. <br />Is it just the way I was born <br />or is it something I wanted to learn. <br />Why oh why do I do it again <br />writing a poem <br />that scores one out of ten.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-out-of-ten/
