Paperback writer’s title was confirmed long ago Prepared and ready for imprint info It was a simple authored task Based on honesty no need for a performing arts mask No hidden comments Only an eerie feeling of ‘I got em’ Laboring throughout the past Taking a sip once every page from the flask Success at last Time to confirm the work Pop the champagne cork Taking the fictional tale to the rich people’s place Relegation still staring them in the face No one was in the offices or streets “I thought everyone here loved to compete” Fog was not even there To offer up a bloody scare A lonely pub still playing its part Every one six feet apart Over a pint that looked like a beer This paperback writer forced back a tear No longer tapping a professional career Seeing across the bar A Hammy with bacon looking for a new star “I have worked eight days and I am weak I do speak Due to hard days going into night But I tell you I still am ready to fight Put together this respectable write!” Shutting down the corporate look “I assume you have a book” Hammy inquired Knowing he was talking to a paperback writer not a liar “I did my best if you are concern My thoughts containing much to learn” Throwing some cheese to the mouse Trying to lure another talent to the house “We do love paperback writers You are true romantic fighters But a hard cover is the way to go instead You know a quick way to get out of debt” Peering around the empty scenery Once was a busy eatery “I am from quarry and stone And you are not safe from the demotion zone Especially when presenting that hard cover tone Paperback writing cost a couple bucks And could be easily read at the bus stop Or picked up From the beach side bin By someone wanting a story daring with sin A reader needing a relaxing affair About two lovers who are adventurous pair” Hammy enjoyed the meet Getting up from the stool seat “May I take that lovely manuscript? Scribed by a paperback writer good vibes it will be a hit” Handing over the personal notes Hoping to get acceptance votes A few days later an email was sent To the paperback writer it went “Not bad Liverpool Lad A nice read Indeed Worthy receiving royalties’ fee” Everything was real Paperback writer signed the deal Stating after June 17th the pub date would be sealed Making the paperback writer’s best seller real
