How to Kill Your Creativity

Want to kill your creativity?
And why wouldn’t you?
It keeps you up too late at night,
Makes you hallucinate
That your common garden plants
Have leaves of solid gold
Causing you to think you’re rich
And forget like Trump
To pay your bills.
Worse, it makes you late
For appointments. Is not this
The seventh time in two months
You failed to show
For your wedding?
She’ll not wait
Much longer than this!

So here’s how to kill
Your creativity:
Recall now when you were a child.
You did it back then for fun.
And nothing could stop you
From creating morning, noon, and night.

So just stop doing it for fun now.
Just push all that nonsense aside.
And start creating for praise
Or for money instead.
