SHIELD by Tom Jensen
"Either write something worth reading
or do something worth writing"
Looks like Benjamin Franklin's right again
So rather than be a man of action
I'm off to get my pen...
Whatever keeps me free from blame
Surely, that's the choice I'll choose
For in this game I never said I had to win
I'm happy to draw if it means I don't lose
Call me a coward
Call me what you will
While you're crawling among the fallen
Well, I'll be standing still
So what if I'm standing still?
At least treading water
Means that I'm still alive
Just look here at my great big book
So what if it lacks a spine?
It makes for a magnificent shield
Which I use to hind behind
And I hide behind it all the time
