How To Write

How about this? How do stuff!
You never have to worry about knowing...
How to do anything...

Don't know what to wear?
Never fear...
Read a, "How To Book!"
It'll tell you what kind
Of underwear...
You ought to wear.

Bored and don't know what to do?
Read a, "How to Book!"
It'll tell you what to do...
Tell you how to talk.
Tell you how to look.
Even cook!

Tell you how to think!
Spit.
Breathe...
Even exercise!

I wouldn't surpised if?
They could even tell you
the most politest way...
To go do-dee

How about those, "How To Books?"
I think I'm going to
Run right down
And buy one today.

How about you...?
Think I'm going to buy
One...
That tells me, "How TO Write!"

Umm...Merlyn: I think this is great! I laughed at it, but I might suggest that it would fit better in the Open Poetry Forum better!

I often giggle when I read your work
Well Done.

I've been looking all over for this thing. You've misled me, Merlynh, shame on you!

What's a do-dee?
