Copycat

Submitted by Usagi on November 10, 2007 - 18:02.

It’s all been done before:
Whatever I choose, I’ll be copy copy copycat;
Not an original idea left here for me.
Dig deep to unearth what remains
And find everyone’s been there before.
Stuck in someone else’s rut
With spinning wheels
Churning out idea after recycled idea.
Copy copy copycat.
Everything’s been taken—
Take two, take four, take sixty-nine—
Action! Already been done
With copy copy copycat ideas.
