Masterpiece 5000 from Masterpiece 5000 by Chris Weisman

“Masterpiece 5000”

You’ll get there eventually
Keep plodding along
Masterpiece 5000
The road will be long

Don’t try to keep count
Don’t trouble yourself
Let someone else judge
Sort merit from wealth

I must have 5000
That are wonderful enough
And that’s a tiny percentage
Of my overall stuff

Masterpiece 5000
I’ve gotta be there
My efforts have substance
This isn’t hot air

There’s no way I’m deluded
There’s surely no way
Just look what’s been written
Just look at my resume

It’s surely 5000
It’s probably more
Masterpiece 5000
Is long out the door

It’s roaming the world
With a skip in its step
Wait, what’s that you say?
Am I really not there yet?

I must’ve misheard you
I only have one?
And it isn’t even finished?
It’s only half-done?

You’ll get there eventually
Keep plodding along
Masterpiece 5000
The road will be long
