Help! I'm Blogged Out!

sometimes, when there are no words...

help! i'm blogged out
by syigim

help! help! somebody please
i ain’t got no idea
my brain is stuck, my thoughts are dry
i’m lost for words, i fear

my blog has no new posts
for many many days
i need a topic now
please help me find a way!

should i write about those ants
lining up in one long row
or do you have better ideas
any topic i could borrow?

i quickly read the papers
for any breaking news
something i could share
some thoughts, a lot or few

then i go bloghopping
to read what others wrote
perhaps i could get some idea
and make a mental note

my kids say something funny
i should blog right away
i listen, laugh, record and write
whatever that they say!

talking might be good
so i called my elder sister
an idea could come up
out of the news from her

i could just get a picture
a really pretty shot
find words that go along with it
but ideas i have not!

i guess it’s best to write
a topic that i love
food? travels? kids? anuar zain?
or all of the above!

first i need a title
must be catchy, must be nice
contain key-words google-able
put zest to it, and spice

now it’s time to write
a short one is okay
describe the experience or feelings
is there any other way?

i need a nap, i need a rest!
a short break would be good
perhaps i need to go and raid
the kitchen for some food

after a while, after a sec
back to my blog i go
i type, i look, i delete, i stare
still no words out, oh no!
