WRITER’S BLOCK REMEDY

Monday around two oclock, still early afternoon.
I’m working through this writer’s block, alone hear in my room.
Searching for something to say, to tap into myself.
Attention drawn to the bottle sitting there on the shelf.
A fifth of Jameson staring at me half full.
Promising to bring about ideas if I take a pull.
I hesitate, the temptation is risky,
Consdiering the slippery slope of a swig of whiskey.
Took off the cap and threw back a bunch of gulps.
My tummy didn’t like it, but I quickly felt results.
Like loosened inhibitions, and free intuition,
My mind was on a mission to bring it all to fruition.
Getting shitfaced and enjoyed my condition,
To the music in my head I sat and listened.

My my my writer’s block remedy is Maker’s Mark, Jameson Hennessey. Yes the sensation is heavenly when the ideas flow steadily. My my my writer’s block remedy is bourbon and whiskey from Tennessee. Yes the sensation is heaveny.
Wednesday around 9 olock at least this time it’s dark.
I pour myself another glass of Arak, hoping to reignite the spark.
Fiending for gratification, to reach that state of flow.
Accessing inspiration, lubricated mind and soul.
I’m a millenial demanding the immediate,
Lickety split a hedonist, the booze is my ingredient,
They say creative types tend to be eccentric deviants.
They say my generation needs rewards to be expedient.
What are we finding at the bottom of the bottle,
Emboldened by the Lubavitcher Rebbe and some Aristotle.
Taking back shnapps to help me rap it’s so pathetic,
But just like many others I use it to develop aesthetic.
Committed to the craft and encouraged to break through,
Sifting through riff raff cuz I know what I g-g-gotta do.
