If You Stretch a Metaphor
If you stretch a metaphor
And it starts to wear thin
Simply fold it over
And stretch it once again
Tape another to it
And then you'll have a poem
If it's placed beside the rest
You'll have a book to show 'em
Stack 'em on each other, 'til
They form a tow'ring column
Call yourself a writer, friend
For you have penned a volume
