I’ve written a brand new book
I was hoping you might take a look
You could click on the link
and see what you think -
considering the hours it took.

You’ll notice how carefully I’m
promoting my writing in rhyme
which should be much better
than say sending a letter
or conveying the announcement in mime.

Or hiring a man with a bell -
a Town Crier - to help the thing sell
or hawking my wares
at small village fairs
with a poor hired orphan named Nell

They’d stop and take pity you see
as she expired at my feet of TB.
‘If you’d purchase my novel
we could leave our vile hovel’
(then I’d slip her ten quid as a fee)

So please, humble reader, dig deep
The book will remain yours to keep
Recommend (but not lend)
this book to your friends
and I’ll cling to your ankles and weep.
