For those of you mentioned that you "can't write on demand" or "this writing task is meaningless", I'm sure you can empathise with the ape in the poem below.

Teaching the Poem to Write Poems-John Tate

They didn't have much trouble
teaching the ape to write poems:
first they strapped him into the chair,
then tied the pencil around his hand
(the paper had already been nailed down).
Then Dr. Bluespire leaned over his should 
and whispered into his ear:
"You look like a god sitting there.
Why don't you try writing something?"
