It's great to know you've no talent,
And you don't have to try so hard,
Just write what you want and that's cool,
You'll not be a talented bard.

Just sit and look out the window,
As the world goes by leisurely,
Don't have to pick and peck for words,
Get up and brew a cuppa tea.

Oh, it's nice to be so laid back,
Settle into what could have been,
I fooled myself and that's a shame,
I think I'll switch from wine to gin.
