MAN... ALL THIS POETRY business...
we have
a round table for you would you like to come
no this is the university we don't pay
we get paid we don't pay
would you like to save the planet
we have this workshop three days
bring the food, too, no we don't pay
we will also have a three weeks cruise
Peace in the Mediterranean and now
there is this peace congress
in a five stars hotel, people from all over
the world, a great place to promote your writings
haven't you noticed peace is a great business these days
talk about peace and get funds and more funds
travel tickets for the professors and the housewives
because, as you know, women they make peace hormonally these days,
and the professors they always made peace,
no we can't pay the poets and the writers,
it's up to you and I understand you don't want to come
but you have to do everything to promote your books
says the writer-professor at the other side of the line,
dear lady, when will I write? I don't have sabbaticals
I have three children and they eat everyday, I am a writer
not a promoter of my books, I am not into marketing,
and I do too much of it already,
yes I understand but I will
talk about your novel and wanted to invite you,
no thanks, prefer to write this poem instead.
