“Award Winning” Vs. “Best Selling”

For those who want to differentiate

Between “Fiction” and “Literature”

Here’s a handy-dandy little guide:

It’s fiction if the story

Has a point and ends in glory.

Literature ends when boring people die.

Once You Hunt White Your Whole Crew Ain’t Alright

So I wrote this book called “Moby Dick”

But my publisher says its a marketing fail

So I kept the story and changed the title

And now it’s called “The White Whale”.

Ode To Gen Alpha

There are many lovely people

In the world that I have seen,

Yet many would be lovelier

As part of Soylent Green.

Modern Literature

Once upon a time

A protagonist’s life was changed

By some sequential story elements

Non-Chronologically arranged

After which there was a sequel

In which similar events

Played out, but less excitingly

Than the ones that came from whence.

And finally a trilogy

Concluded with part three

In which plot elements resolved

And they released the first movie.

Hector Problems

Some days you’re unstoppable,

The top dog, the golden boy.

Other days your corpse gets dragged

Around the walls of Troy.

A Review of “Moby Dick,” by T Pain

Let me tell you a story

All about how

My boat got capsized

Upside down.

Was this big f’n whale

Cooked up in a meth lab.

He’s white as a cracker

Like my brotha’, Ahab.

Now my bro chased the whale

Through like 800 pages

Cross a buttload o’ seas

And all through the ages.

So if you’re a reader

You know shit just got real

When you turn to page one:

“Call me Ishmael.”
