Nursery Writes

sometimes I think it's a childish pursuit...

I.

One, Two,

write something new.

Three, four,

don't let it bore.

Five, Six,

ignore the pricks.

Seven, Eight,

submit too late,

Nine, Ten,

let's start again.

II.

Write a bit of doggerel,

a bucket-ful of shite:

Four and twenty chapters?

Who said you could write?

When the book was opened,

they all began to smirk,

‘Wasn’t that a crappy tome?’

‘Who is this f*****g berk?’

The berk was in his writing shed

Dreaming of some money

The editor called it parlous

So bad that it was funny.

The book became so famous

-the emperor’s new clothes-

The berk went off to Hollywood

And bought a straighter nose.

III.

Blah, blah, Dan Brown

Have you any talent?

‘Yes sir, yes sir three bags full.’

Prose like a brochure,

plot in a mess

and more money in your bank

than anyone can guess.

Reviews

Hilarious! Funny, too! Hopefully, this gets some exposure. Most writers would probably enjoy the humor.

Except Dan Brown, maybe! Thanks for reading and commenting.
