Christmas Fun #4

By H.L. Dyer


To Up on the Housetop

Up on the laptop all night long

Feels so "write," it can't be wrong

Pulling the story from all the noise

Without resorting to cliché ploys


So, So, So… How will it go?

No, No, No… That way would blow

Oh, up on the laptop click, click, click

Hoping to finish this draft up quick!


First comes my personal writing hell:

How will I make all these subplots gel?

Need to find out how these twists combine.

Once I do that, I will be just fine.


So, So, So… How will it go?

No, No, No… That way would blow

Oh, up on the laptop click, click, click

Hoping to finish this draft up quick!


Why can't I skip this and move ahead?

Or give up and go back to bed?

Guess this is just how I need to write

Even if I'd rather sleep at night.


So, So, So… How will it go?

No, No, No… That way would blow

Oh, up on the laptop click, click, click

Hoping to finish this draft up quick!

  1. Clever and well written.

    I feel everyone is writing from personal experience and not just making up stuff out of the air!

    Still laughing!
