On Being Given a New Notebook for my Birthday

What good is a new notebook
if I have nothing good to write?
I try putting forth profundities
but I end up sounding trite.

And what good is my voice
if I have nothing good to say?
It may be better to work
in silence, all throughout the day.

Could it be that this empty book
is just how the Bible started?
Well, I'm neither Moses nor Solomon,
but at least I am good-hearted.
