What To Write

I don't know what to write
I know I'm cutting it tight
So far it doesn't seem bright
Yet I still don't know what to write

I've been at it for hours
Something to do with towers?
Or maybe it should be flowers
This is going to take me hours

It could be about a cat
Or maybe where it sat
No that would just be a drat
Oh my stupid idea of a cat

I can't think what to write once again
Now I've been put to shame
Yes it's me that you can blame
For thinking I could do this thing again
