Infinite Sky entry three

Infinite Sky! - entry three

I sit here looking for inspiration
But lack of talent and imagination
Is the reason I stare at a blank page
Not one measly word written at this stage

Still I summon the Muse and keep trying
To create a piece that’s awe inspiring
Something drastic needs to happen to me
A flash of genius the world can see

Some small thing taking control of my brain
And if it writes well then I’ll not complain
No, wait; I’ve had a really great idea
I will use words like onomatopoeia

I could describe what has happened to me
Not now though…I’m desperate for a wee
Seems I’ve been abducted by aliens
Though they sound awfully like Australians

And I’ve only got a short time to write
Because we’re in for a galactic fight
A fast Star-ship from the Federation
Is on our screens, near our destination

Surely the attackers won’t dare to land
And set foot on our planet’s red hot sand
But we must speed up if we’re to be sure
That no one gives them Feds a guided tour

So I’m here on our Star-ship Enterprise
Trying to write something to win a prize
No, not the one run by ABC tales
Mine is linked to the January Sales

It was an ad in The Daily Planet
Written by some editor named Janet
So now we’ve stopped and I cast about
But I can’t find the door that says Way Out

Oh bother just when I’m pleased with my theme
I find out now it has all been a dream
So then I utter a sad little sigh
And look up and see an infinite sky?

End
