I don’t know what to write.
I am out of ideas.
I normally wouldn’t do this,
But I need it for a grade.

There’s a balloon.
It says, “Who’s Counting?”
It’s on a purple string.
It has no meaning to me.
I’m just trying to fill up my paper.

My shirt is red.

I’m not really thinking about any of this.
It’s all just made up on the spot.
“Woo, isn’t this fun?”
No, it’s not.

I’m listening to my ipod right now.
It’s playing, “Prayer of the Refugee.”
By Rise Against.
I think they’re coming out with a new album.
I’m not sure.

I think this is enough.
I hope so.
I don’t want to write more.
My song just changed.

I just realized that the fourth verse rhymes.
Or maybe it’s the third.
I don’t know if that one line counts as a verse.
Whatever.

The song changed again.
