What every writer has experienced at one time or another, I'm sure.

Sit to write
My fingers raised
To scribe my musings
Which shall amaze

Still I sit
I've not one word
Put down on paper
I'm not deterred!

Getting late
Oh, can it be?
I've thought of something!
Or not, I see

Brain collapse
I'm losing ground
But not before I've
Put one word down!

Fighting now
To stay awake
I've lost the battle
As slumber waits

I never hear
The desk's dull thud
As my head descends
And strikes the wood

In the morn'
I raise my head
From off the desktop
And crawl to bed

Another try
To write a piece
Will be here shortly
But now I sleep

Here's a verse that describes marketing.
Which way shall I take the course to my reader’s hearts,
What scale and tools do I collect with,
What voyeur’s wrap I claim in readiness.
Are the ages of my father come to bear,
Or will be for next generation’s benefit:
And for sure hope luck to smile a lot,
Unless I weaken in devotion,
That I harbor this pretext,
Where course is subject to a wanton age.
Gather, flock with us; examine all to beyond:
Valiant person have surpassed our time.

This is precious! Would you consider sending it to Brenda at oddducksociety.org ? It's an encouraging, fun website for writers. Some of my poems on writing are on it.
