The Poet Is Not In Today

(Chris Wall)

~chorus~

Oh the poet is not in today

He didn’t say where he’s going to or how long he’s apt to stay

He mentioned that he did not have a worthwhile thing to say

But the poet is not in today

Well he’s burned up all his passion writing greeting cards

His soul no longer glows in the dark

He’s concerned that God cannot see him anymore

So he’s gone to find the place where he once made a spark

~chorus~

He’s tired of writing pretty words for pretty boys

They once made him feel like Cyrano

But now with every single lying rhyme he writes

It makes his heart feel like some old Pinocchio

~chorus~

He said he might go back somewhere just a poundin nails

A job that’s got some dignity and class

He said with guys like you it’s always heads or tails

And you would not know a good line if it bit you in the ass

~chorus~
