A writer’s lot is not a happy one – with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan
When the adjectives won’t line up as you want them,
But the adverbs overwhelm you like the Hun;
Ah, take one consideration with another,
A writer’s lot is not a happy one.
When your plot veers off on a diversion,
And inspiration simply will not come;
Ah, take one consideration with another,
A writer’s lot is not a happy one.
Ahhh,
When writing duty’s to be done, to be done.
A writer’s lot is not a happy one, (happy one).
