If you want to be a Writer
February 2008
If you want to be a writer then,
You should write as if your stories or poems or
play or novels
Will be put in a locker,
And the locker will be put in an attic.
And maybe your grandchildren or great
grandchildren
Will find your old trunk,
And take all your stuff that you wrote down
To some publishing house;
And then maybe you might be become famous
and dead
All at the same time.
