It Has Been 4 Weeks Since The Last Material.

This Is Called A Quasi-Writers Block Period.

So What’s A Hack Poet To Do?

Well My Fine Un-Feathered Friend,

The Answer Is to “Release Filler”.

This Is A Time Honored Practise,

Of The More Spotted Immature Hack Artiste,

Which Is 99.99% Of Us.

Yes – this Is the “Filler” – That Has Become “Stock”.

“Filler” That Has Been Around Since Adam

Started Drawing Doodles In the Sand

Thanks To Eve Biting The Apple Of Knowledge.

After That, I’m Sure By The Next Week He Said

“Man I think My Material Has Taken A Dive”.

Thus We Latter Day Fools Are Simply Recreating The Folly.

the Last thing To Say On Filler Is This:

The Secret Is To Recognise That Stuff That “Isn’t Filler”,

Such As

The First Terminator Movie

The Beatles

The Post War Economic Boom

A Supermodel

A Sunrise

Is Actually “Filler” Too.

The World Is A Well Disguised Hodgepodge Of “Filler” –

This Poem Being A Simple Example Of That Fact.

Oh & One More Thing – The Easiest Way To Spot Filler –

Is It Contains An Obvious Glib & Banal Final Couple Of Toots.

Although Perhaps I Am Wrong,

After All – Isn’t It True That One Man’s “Filler”,

Is Another Man’s “Killer”?
