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.

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”.

There are many lovely people
In the world that I have seen,
Yet many would be lovelier
As part of Soylent Green.

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.

Some days you’re unstoppable,
The top dog, the golden boy.
Other days your corpse gets dragged
Around the walls of Troy.

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.”
