IF YOU CAN’T

If you can’t catch a falling star

Go and catch a falling angel

Or better still raise the bar

And kick the bloody devil

If you can’t write shitty verse

Go and write a dirty novel

Or better still write for the purse

And refuse to beg or grovel

If you can’t; then don’t

So save yourself all the trouble

Or fool yourself as is your wont

Until pop goes the weasel

If you can’t; if you can’t;

If you can’t; if you can’t;

Then don’t; then don’t;

Then don’t; then don’t;
