The night was dark and

stormy, the library lights were dim;

I crept up to the swinging

doors, and quietly went in.

"Is this the creative writing

club?" said I

"Yes," was Mr. Brohier's reply.

No grammar; analysis or essays;

No stodying word use or Shakespearian plays.

We aren't English scholars who use big words,

Teacher's pets, philosophers or nerds;

We just like to write poetry and prose;

Read at Madison's Cafe,

where next?

Who knows?
