My yacht has a hole in it
the damn Limo just won't crank
the maids are all going on strike
and I just got call from the bank
banker-man says my funds are low
I tell him that can't be so
I'm a certified writer with a book out, son
Google me if you want to know
Just type in my name, mister
just go to the Amazon site
you'll see my name in big letters, man
on a book cover that looks just right
Everybody knows that we writers
who write these big-time books
are living large in Beverly Hills
and getting surgery to change our looks
I haven't checked my bank account
but it's gotta full of dough
I know I probably sold a million books
maybe two, I just don't know
Now they cut-up my credit card
the hotel is throwing me out of my suite
I guess the bank has screwed up somehow
I would call them but my cellphone has peaked
Everybody knows we writers
have our books made into screenplays
that's a million dollars right there, my man
and millions more when the movie gets made
so there must be some kind of error
there has to be some kind of mistake
what good is writing a book
if you're broke for Heaven's sake
I bet I know what happened
I'll bet no one has seen
I changed the authors name on my book
I'm now called Stephen King

You're the best. Thank you again. R
You have developed a fine voice Scanner.
I can recognize you clearly.
Got a great ring to it.

if your yacht has a hole in it
would you drill another
Oh, and that up there misses being called a yacht (these days) by about 250 feet and $10,000,000.00 dollars US... plus the helicopter.

turns to stone cabbage
cooked over dying embers
once glowing bright
a dancing shadow on the wall
left to all that wait
and return
Ah, my friend, such is the world of creative people. . .
Love your words and your book.
I'm richer for knowing you.
We're going to be on MTV too, with my babies' mamas, all checkin' out my crib, the one in the Hamptons.
Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!! :D
RATED!!!!

My beamer's out of gas and I don't even have a book to peddle.... (as you know my beamer is imaginary, too)
We're all just glad you didn't go down with the ship. :)
But, of course, under all the fun is a very tragic testament of our times......
wonderful writing
I am now jane Austen
HUGGGGGGGGGGGG
