Rejection a Practised Skill of Mine

Rejection A Practised Skill of Mine Rejection is a practised skill of mine, I receive manuscript rejections all the time, Sorry your book project isn’t the right one for us, Maybe you could add some vengeance, fear and lust, Getting published is a near impossible feat for me, There are thousands of books written that are better you see, Rejection is common for writers so I am not alone, Perseverance, talent and a heart of stone, Automatic form letter sometimes written by the editor, Are you sure you’re not a linguistic predator, I reject your rejection, it lacked character depth and wasn’t written well, Maybe you should take your advice and revise your rejection spawned from hell, I’ll send my book to the publisher down the road, And maybe he’ll love every word that I wrote, He will publish my book and it will be at the top of the best sellers list, Now you can contemplate the great opportunity that you’ve now missed, Sorry Mr. Editor for the great author you’ve just lost, Maybe next time you’ll read more of my work at any cost, Rejection is a well practised skill on mine, I receive rejections all the time, I’m a talented author, I just know it, I’m also a very talented poet, Some people do crossword puzzles to pass the time you see, Writing poetry is a mental exercise for me, This poem is special; it’s one of a kind, Especially since it’s author is mostly blind, I write with my heart and my unique inner fire, To be a great author good eyesight is not required, Although rejection is a practised skill of mine, Regrettably I must reject you rejection for the last and final time.
