to do it right; just doing it's the thing.
Mechanically slot meter into rhyme
and hope that one or two of them will sing;
But if they don't, if all your clumsy feet
trip on themselves, don't let it get you down.
No drummer never missed a single beat,
and writing's always been more verb than noun.
A stream of water, falling drop by drop
can penetrate the strongest stony wall.
With time, determination not to stop,
and patience, you'll get through too, after all.
That rare bird Inspiration's very nice--
but sometimes Perspiration must suffice.
