The Write Connection

I tried to write a book one day Always needed extra pay Searched high and low to sell my work Started feeling like a jerk Now I had to make a switch So dropped some cash Went to a pitch Many would-be writers there Approaching agents with great care Quick praises flowed from every mouth A minute later they went South So head held down I grabbed my bus And wondered what was all the fuss So what's the answer to this all When you feel the wrtiter's call Don't speak too much Don't speak too loud Come down from your self-seeking cloud Just let your words on paper flow `` Remembering that it all comes down To spending all your time in town To meet the ones who really know Before it's back to home you go.
