Misplaced Ego!
I am a writer; if I sell a word or not
And if you people are my readers
Then I must be, hot to trot…?
I'll make - paper out of these cedars.
And, lay waste to a rainforest.
My carbon footprint will be?
Ginormous, just, you wait & see.
I'll be so damn monumental…
They'll commission a dozen or so,
Bronze life-size, sculptures of me!
I'll be as famous as Muhammad Ali.
…Do the quotes, shuffle like he done on T.V
You know fellow readers, I'm going…
Global faster than internet cable!
I'll be more read; than Shakespeare!
I'll marry a senorita, bedded in a stable.
I'll make all the coverage world-news
Simply by enjoying and sharing my muse.
Sorry I just can't put it any other way…
So don't steal my thunder, I'm here to stay.
