Without A Doubt

I'm going downstairs to be a poet 
Got a great idea: gonna write a sonnet 
A verse or two of fearless prose 
A priceless quip to gild the rose 
I'll make my fortune overnight 
My work will set the world alight 

Just a line is all I need 
Just a thought to sow the seed 
Just a word to start me out. 
The rest will come without a doubt 

I'm going downstairs to write a book 
Got a great idea's gonna really cook 
A rattling good yarn with an ironic twist 
A riveting ending that's not to be missed 
Makesure the presses are ready to steam 
This book is a scorcher, a publisher's dream 

Just the first part's all I need 
The rest will come with lightning speed 
Just a line to set the stage. 
My pen will dance across the page 

I'm going downstairs to write a play 
Got a great idea gonna make it pay 
This serious drama won't be understood 
The critics will love it and say that it's good 
"At last a new writer, a true nouvelle vague" 
In no time at all I'll be king of the stage 

Just a story's all I need. 
Just a thought to sow the seed 
Just a line to start me out . 
The rest will come without a doubt
