Badge of a Good Writer
I enjoy playing in the band
And watching TV too
But my pen and notebook are always in my hand
Because writing is my favorite thing to do
Epic stories of adventure
Or short moments of suspense
I have no fear of censure
I have been told my imagination is intense
Either unfinished ideas, scribbled on a napkin
Or stories that take a week of all nighters
Each one is worth the money spent on aspirin
Sore wrists and fingers are the badges of good writers
I wear those badges with pride
Because I am the one sending the reader too far off places
All from a book I can send them world wide
But most of all I love seeing the large smiles on their faces.
