Writing An Art Grant

I am writing a book and am asking for some financial support and professional assistance

Writing a book

with a hook

is not difficult

for the adult

or is it?

Oh, sh-t!

~

I am not writing Seussian

It is not an ordinary topic then

I have 5 days to write the grant

Maybe I am crazy and on a rant

Should I be writing this here now

I should know better than to allow

myself to go on and on and on

as on the 15th I will be writing until dawn!

~

My topic is iffy

It can take a year or two

and it won't be a jiffy

I can plan the time for 2 years to

get it done as the grant allows

I may have to take new vows

to keep the hubby happy

he can be sappy.

~

Let's get this thing written

and stop playing with the kitten

It is time to put a few things aside

and get down to business and not hide

or doing everything but what I need to do

I feel like the girl in the picture above, and so

I need to grow up and realize I can do this now

and I need not have to take a vow.
