Thought Provoking Stuff
Most of what I write isn't thought provoking stuff.
If there's one thing I cannot stress enough
Is my lack of talent to write thought provoking stuff.
There's just a mental hangup for writing something deep,
Every time I try I want to fall to sleep.
Don't look into this poetry for some hidden theme,
Or a revelation from a recent dream.
Leave it those who are divinely inspired,
Thought provoking stuff just makes me tired.
Becoming a great poet is something I would consider,
If I didn't have such a hangup for being a quitter.
Or being called a marshmallow or creampuff
For writing thought provoking stuff.
Take it from a man who's been around the block,
I'm not big on writing or even casual talk.
So please don't upset me or make me distraught,
By making me write stuff that provokes thought.
Rene Descartes once said; "I think therefore I am,"
But I don't know what he meant by that dithyramb.
Maybe it makes sense to Socrates,
As far as I'm concerned it's written in Chinese.
I'd be forced to drop out of society
Because it doesn't mean anything to me.
So if you're looking for some clever rhyme,
Don't look to me for I just don't have the time.
I'm not here to fill the world full of fluff,
By filling up the universe with thought provoking stuff.
