I Wrote a Novel

I wrote a novel about it Grammatically it's full of holes My specialty has never been Knowing where them commas go And I made a promise about it And you'd think by now I would have learned That page and pen and good intent don't represent A corner turned. I should know better than I do And I would, if I could, if I had the will To want to But I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still And I'm so frightened of failure I'm scared to even begin That irony is not lost on me I just refuse to let it sink in And I'm a creature of habit Caught in comforts hot and cold Leave me outside when the river's high And eventually I'll turn to stone. I should know better than I do And I would, if I could, if I had the will Ahhh forget about it. Ahhh But I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still But I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still
