a day of rest

The Day of Rest

So, it is another Sunday morning
after a restless night, dreaming about
a manuscript I couldn't find
I have many manuscripts, but the problem is
to be unknown, publishers want 
money up front 
Last time I sent a manuscript for a book
The publishers said it was great
I paid 400 euros, which I called great, but
The publisher has vanished and does
not answer my calls
I will remain unknown and asleep 
I used to type my words, but now
Everything is stored in my computer
That is a bonus, no need to look 
at my work, except dreaming about it
