Miss Snark's First Victim blog is asking for original holiday lyrics based around writing. Here's mine:
To the tune of Happy XMas (War is Over)
So This Is Writing
So this is writing
What shall I write now?
The next great bestseller
If I only knew how
And so this is writing
I hope it's not trite
I've way too much back story
Guess I'll have to rewrite
A very wary adverb
Suddenly gets marked out
Let's hope it reads better
Could there be any doubt?
And so happy writing
Pound the desk with my fist
I've got no motivation
For my antagonist
A very wary query
I hope it will sell
Masterpiece or disaster
It's the best tale I could tell
Writing's over
If I let it
Never over
Write
