my experience with writing and stuff

                                         C Crum
Writing;  how much fun would  be to have this for my job?
Every publisher with whom I spoke, just  said blah blah blah blah blob.
Felt like most of them had only intentions  to rob.

I don't know, maybe I just have it all wrong.
Hold up, wait; let me guess... You think I should try writing a song.
Somehow I thought it would go better, didn't think it would take this long.

Many said in poetry there is simply no money to make.
So,, I mean,   there has to be something right?  for goodness sake.
Me to pay for people to read my work, that just sounds fake.
Tell ya what, there are the hot coals; I'll sit down, you go grab your rake.
Just looking for a few crumbs, never asked for the whole cake.

Seriously starting to question why any would even call this writing.
Pretty sure I'd take fewer cheap shots in professional MMA fighting.
Last guy I spoke with suggested, I'd have a better chance at recording a bigfoot sighting.
Think I'll just back head down to the lake, at least the fish are biting.

Looks like I should have invested in something,, hey; what about the lottery.
All the bad news and stress, worried about developing a freaking clogged artery.
Oh yeah;; I got it, I'll open a craft store, then go learn to make pottery.

Well hopefully I am the only one who has this kind of luck.
Looked promising when I started  so fast, now I'm just plain stuck.
Heard so many different excuses, I can nearly fill the back of my truck.
Anyone thinking of getting into this, I can only wish you good luck.
I would suggest building animal calls, visit Arkansas; maybe you can catch a duck.

I should have listened sooner I guess, I'll pack all these writings away and just stow it.
Grabbed the bat, stepped to the plate, took a swing. Never considered I might blow it.
Guess the guy suggesting bigfoot was right in saying, "You are no poet, just dumb to know it."

 Something weird about this whole deal, It just don't set right.
Maybe my words don't sound good, Am I'm blind, with 20/20 sight.
So; people are saying not to give up, "I should stick it out and fight."
Either way going  broke fast, so back to the construction site.
