The Word Doctor

Post by saw » May 27th, 2008, 5:41 am

I am the word doctor
I'll unclog your brain
just like the plumber
who unstops the drain

I'll snake out your neural
pathways for free
the words will start flowing
quite effortlessly

I''ll ream out receptors
I'll suck out the gook
words under pressure
will fill up a book

In the time that it takes
to open the tap
your pen will start racing
free of the crap

Free of the blockage
that all writers get
you'll soar down the page
with the speed of a jet

Artistic license
is all I can offer
the canals will be spewing
when I unlock the coffer

Streams of consciousness
words of might
brilliant concepts
nothing trite

Ideas with passion
will light up the page
neon expressions
will open the cage

I'm not in the phone book
I have no address
I'm here in the corner
in the out-most recess

No rhyme, no reason
No reason, no rhyme
No need to panic
Word Doctor's on time
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

haven't seen you deal in rhyme - you did it cleanly.
