Ah, but you say that is no toiling task, It is only a few wise words of wisdom they ask. All right said I, I ' ll do the chore, Now, please, let me think of an opening metaphor. Shall I produce a comedy, a prophecy, or dramatize? Will it be long or short or just infinite in size? In my labouring brain I ' ve found my recipe, A dash of Keats, a pinch of Shelly, and a teaspoon of Burns. With this seasoning trio I a masterpiece will serve, But wait, how could I even use this stanza, the words don ' t even rhyme ! Yes, I ' ll make it free verse; no, make that blank. That is also the condition into which my mind has sank. It is now in great difficulty that I venture forth And my senses ask, How could it be of so much worth? With fourteen lines I ' ll compose me a sonnet. That ' s it! I ' ll use iambic pentameter in my verse; But I must still find a subject to write on it And if Shakespeare ever reads it, he will surely curse. Now as I enter the early hours of dawn with my genius depleted, I, on the outskirts of insanity, am seated. John Beck, 11A
