cARtOONSdAY: “Rewrite?”

Monday morning writing joke: “Shelf adoration”

There once was a writer in a bookstore /

Of her novels, she wanted to see more. /

Up on the shelves /

She wanted them to dwell /

But first she had to do more than adore.

“Magic”

Magic

Books are phrased Magic /

Words shaped by the writer’s touch /

Sculpted on the page.

“If I should meet”

If I should meet

If this author I should meet

In a bookstore or on the street

Will she autograph my books

Or give me ugly, sullen looks?

Will she shoo her hand and say,

“Old man just go away.”

Or will she take her pen in hand

And send me to the Promised Land?

Driving pen down into my heart

And ending life with a sudden start?

Or will she stop and graciously offer

To personalize the books I proffer?

Thanking me for supporting her

Though these works may be obscure?

If this author I should meet

On a bench or restaurant seat

Sadly, I’ll not have her books with me.

What a disappointment that will be.

Research

I am a writer. /

Thank you for asking, Bear. /

Dog and broom were mum.

Monday morning writing joke: “War writer”

There once was a writer of wars /
Who saw peace as a series of chores. /
When people put their arms away /
He had nothing to say, /
And at parties he was just one of the boors.

Monday morning writing joke: “Lying writer”

There once was a writer from downtown, /

Who took his rejection lying around. /

He would open his e-mail /

And read the words: “No Sale.” /

Then say, “No need to get up to get down.”

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Writer from the farm”

There once was a writer from the farm

Who thought writing could do no harm.

Then one day while he uttered

Poetry he scribbled near a cow’s udder,

She kicked him because she was not charmed.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Writer”

Writer, noun, living. /

Writer, verb, conveying life. /

Writer, now, writing.

Monday morning writing joke: “Ouch”

WRITER: Comedy comes from pain.

AGENT: Then this meeting is hilarious.
