A BESTSELLER

Out of sleep like a bird in flight 
Awaken by thoughts I escaped the night 

This is it.
A must read for all
Newspapers and tabloids will have a ball

My first visit on a television show
I am ready for their questions 
Like a broken pressure line
My answers will flow 

My neighborhood in un uproar 
Flashing lights at my gate 
With these thoughts in my head
I did not hesitate 

I grabbed my pen with notepad in hand
I raced to my desk like an armed man 

With confidence and energy 
Like never before 
I turned on my reading light and ready to go 

Then all the excitement fizzled and popped 
As I sat there staring
At the lights shadow on the wall
A victim of writers block.
