Christmas Eve eve
and all through the flat,
not a typewriter clacking
just a man in a hat.
The plot is a brewing
And the characters all done
The research is best
And oh so much fun
Outlining, cracked it
And final draft written
No writers block
And no nails bitten
Paper screwed up
And pens out of ink
Finally created
A plot that don’t stink
But wait there’s a typo
“How did that get there?”
Five hours editing
As I pull out my hair
“That’s it, I’m done”
As I pour out a beer
To celebrate I’ve finished
At this special time of year.
Put down my pad
And lid on my pen
Shutdown the laptop
And exit the den
And join all the family
Eating crackers and cheeses
To celebrate Christmas
And the birth of Lord Jesus
Merry Christmas everyone
