The Life of John Goodman
By:
Queen Esther
as the minutes Ticked away
john goodman sat in hIs study
and his hand began to sway
as he hurriedly wrote on paper
for there was not time enough
for john goodMan's stuff
to be writ or even bluffed
to be writ down on papEr
for the storIes in his head
were So magnificent
that he could not sit or stand
and stare at blank paPer
the sun Rose and set
and time began to forget
that john goodman yEt
sat and wrote on paper
and all the day long
he felt that it's wrong
to sleep past dawn
and not put pen to paper
so as the minutes flew by
john goodman began to Cry
for he feared he might dIe
befOre his words were all Up on paperS
