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!"

Any chance you can pick one up for me while your there?

Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.
