Pah! I Got Nothin'!

When I read this post at protein wisdom, I wanted to break into song:
    Looking out at the words rushing out of my keys
    Looking back at the commas gone by like so many speakers' fees
    In ninety-one I was sophomore in English 101
    I don't know what my point is now, I'm just running on

    Running on - running on sentence
    Running on - running fine
    Running on - running outta thoughts
    But I'm writing more lines

    Gotta fluff what can when you're paid for each word
    Trying not to cut your check by up to two thirds
    By twenty-nine, I was pundit one and I called the Web my own
    I don't know when those clause ran into the clause I'm on

    Running on - running on sentence
    Running on - running fine
    Running on - running outta thoughts
    But I'm writing more lines

    Everything I know, everything I type
    People keep on reading my low tripe
    I don't know about anything but me
    I can go all night, that'll be all write
    If I can get me a book deal before I leave

    Looking out at the words rushing out of my keys
    I don't know how to tell you all just how badly this verb feels
    I look around for editors I used to turn to shut me up
    Looking into their cubes I see them running too

    Running on - running on sentence
    Running on - running fine
    Running on - running outta thoughts
    But I'm writing more lines

    Buddy you really stet me
    You know the way I wrote was fine
    I'd love to stop it now but I'm writing more lines
    You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
    running outta thoughts but I'm writing more lines
Peh. I got nothing. Apologies to Jackson Browne.
