My pencil tapped the desk

Tick, tick, tick, tick

My heart beating in my chest

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick

My eyes shifting from right to left

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick

My paper blank with one word at best

Tick, tick, tick, tick

My radio in the corner rings to the tune of Benny & the Jets

Tick, tick, tick, tick

Pencil, eyes and mind stop moving, they don’t roam

Because finally I have written the lines to this poem
