Jeb and Hal find writing a bit too easy.

Rule #1: Avoid Cliches

by Phyllis Stewart

Rule #1: Avoid Cliches             A Conversation Between Jeb and Hal,                who never heard of Rule #1                                   ~***~         Writin' poetry's a real no-brainer,         child's play, easy as pie. .........         You sure can say that again! .........         Looks like we see eye to eye.         Don't have to burn the midnight oil,         or let it drive you up the wall. .........         Dang, you sure said a mouthful, .........         right on the money, good call!         Rhymin's just a walk in the park,         as luck would have it, a piece of cake. .........         Truer words were never spoken, .........         really easy, for God's sake.         I can knock out a poem on the fly,         right off the top of my head. .........         I keep one on the back burner .........         until I can put it to bed.         They can't hold a candle to us,         We churn 'em out line by line. .........         Poems are easy as fallin' off a log, .........         While we been talkin' I wrote nine.
