Hey Mate, good on you
You done better than I thought you could do
The style and skill with which you told it
Makes me wonder if you might have stole it
if you didn't steal it then congratulations
You've been in school long enough for graduation

Thanks, nomi, for the great review. Bill
Comment from judiverse
Very enjoyable. This is the plight of the author. Spending all that time on writing and then not knowing what will happen to those works. Enjoyed the rhyme. If you were Patterson, you'd simply get someone else to do the writing for you. Not sure what you meant about "without no Ls." We can all hope for success eventually. You speak for a lot of us in this. judi

Some challenges here are to write a poem or short piece without using a particular letter.
Comment from Ulla
Hi Bill, this is a great poem which expresses what a lot of us would like to aspire to. A dream that for most remains just that. A dream. I enjoyed your poem very much. All the best. Ulla:))

Fantastic creativity here Bill, words we can all on here, acknowledge and relate.

Comment from rama devi
This made me chuckle more than once. Clever satire. Well rhymed and inventive. Amusing...entertaining! And it sounds good read aloud. I do have a few punctuation suggestions, noted below:
No one will ever publish this,(; or . or --)
I'll print it out and wrap some fish.
Some stories have been nicely writ,
with punctuation all through it,
and words spelled close as they will get(,)
and plots--well, we're not quite there yet.
Line two in the above has one issue...stories is plural, so the word IT would be THEM...thus, the use of IT seems forced to fit the rhyme.
One day(,) I'll be a famous author(,)
like Dr. Seuss or Jeffy Chaucer(;)
like Patterson in ev'ry genre(,
Aussies will say(m,) "Hey, Good on ya!"
Until then(,) I will labor on
reading/writing(,) dusk to dawn,
building up my powers of pen
and starting books on chapter ten.
Especially love the rhymes in this stanza:
I've read a lot of poetry,
sonnets, haiku, potpourri;
sestinas, pantoums, villanelles,
and one writTEN without no Ls.
Also in this stanza---superb rhymes:
One day I'll be a famous author
like Dr. Seuss or Jeffy Chaucer
like Patterson in ev'ry genre
Aussies will say "Hey, Good on ya!"
This line is hilarious:
I'll print it out and wrap some fish.
Enjoyed the satirical humor in noting the accent in this line:
and one writTEN without no Ls.
Quite a fun post. Could use fine tuning on punctuation but I am giving five stars.
Warmly, rd

Wow! I really brought this one in on a crash cart. I learned in a poetry class, last millennium, that poems need punctuation too. I tend to forget that when reading so many haiku, senryu, and replies about missing punctuation. Thanks for plugging the holes, RD. Bill

Happy to help! ;-) Thanks for your enthusiastic response. Best, rd

Your name printed on an official government document. That?s the kind of notoriety that makes people. I used to be in the phone book. Thanks for giving this a look.
Comment from Raul1
I like this humorous poem. It is flat out hilarious. I think that you intend to make this poem funny or silly. I don't have a clue, but it is funny. It sounds like this person thought that he never writes well, but he does. Excellent poem. Funny and hilarious poem. Great job!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem that sums up my dilemma too. I write and read most of my day away. There is no chance to sell any of my work and fame will maybe come when I am gone.

Thanks, Sandra, for giving this a look. Aren?t you on the top of the heap for reviewing? I would need to read Moby Dick, Leaves of Grass, and Lord of the Rings to get near the top ten.

Yes, I roughly do 40 plus reviews on Fanstory a day apart from all the other duties I have, from cleaning house, cooking or making three meals a day and baby sitting from time to time, all from the wheelchair. I wish I had the talent to paint nice pictures as well, but it is not given to me. Lol.
