Writer's Block

Improvised from Robert Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' (much apologies for hacking the masterpiece). Please excuse my poor sense of humour, it tends to happen when I force myself to write. Here is a cute image to make up for it. :D

The Block Not Budgin'

Two words written on a white pad,
And sorry I could not pencil more
And be one writer, long I stared
And glared down as hard as I cared
To where it stopped expanding evermore;

Then glanced at my computer, much more inviting,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was effortless and so very appealing;
Though as for that further procrastinating
Had repercussions I did not want to name,

And both that morning equally lay
The computer and pad on table black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how easily distracted is my way,
I doubted if I should ever keep on track.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Sometime ages and ages hence:
Two words written on a white pad, and I—
I chose the one less favoured by,
And that has made all the difference.
