And then the divine orders came
write oh slave of glory and fame!
Thus this Coleridge drank some rum
Muse be thine sanctum sanctorum!
Short point became that magnum-opus,
Playing a game in hocus-pocus
Of many a tale thus spake I
Mailing the whole I heaved a sigh!
Though unread back it came
Headline is too long was the claim!
But I never doubt his judgment
He who nods off my payment.
Thus I kept following in sleep and walk
What wrote Jennings Brenkeley and Roebuck!
And at time came Ogden Nash
Livening the writing that is trash!
But i confess now today
A by-line i get each Sunday!
This oh master is more to me
Still pay in time would better be !
