Oh God: make me find one. | The critics are confounded | and my mind is all so blinded. | I roam the fancy and break my head | but no style seems | to lie ahead. | Now I'm going to go down in History | as an uncertain creep | while all the others sell | and sharpen their beeb. | Why can't I be original? | Why can't I be clear-cut? | I'm always so subliminal | and all I do is doubt
