Well if I can write a novel - surely our friend Aesop can! But lessons are sometimes learned the HARD way.....sniff......


Poem Artwork


 


Aesop was a reader
He loved good mysteries!
Not big on sci fi or horror
And forget biographies!

One day as he finished up a book
And sat there for a minute...
He thought "I bet I could do that
Too and there's fame and fortune in it!"

So he sat at his computer
And he started with his writing,
He was so engrossed and "into it"
He found it quite exciting!

Before he knew what happened
He had written quite a story
A private investigator named Malcolm Mouse
Would bring him fans and glory!

He sent his book to publishers
And soon he got a letter
"Dear Aesop we think this is a hit
but send money and we'll make it better!"

He thought it strange they wanted cash
But he sent it anyway
He waited and waited and waited some more
Thinking "I'll hear something any day!"

Alas his publisher was a crook
Aesop's lesson came the hard way
So poorer is he, but a wiser mouse
At least that's what we all say!

Aesop's fables each had a moral and your Aesop's learned on here. Wise and delightful. Thank you, Pamela. Love and peace. Regis

nice poem

There are many publishers who would take Aesop for a ride. Aesop has to be careful.

I create my own book all the time, the finished product is no second to the paperback that are sold in the stores.

so aesop is writing now! cool beans! what a clever little mousie he is! but i hope that he learns his lessons; not all publishing companies are legit; some are scams, and one has to be careful! good lesson in this humorous write; always enjoy hearing from aesop! (my one character, ronee' le-anne reaux, is working on a book of her own; it's her autobiography, and it is aimed at kids with disabilities and how they can overcome their problems.)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn. :D

Hey! Hey! Hey! Methinks old Aesop is on his way to fame and fortune of SOME kind. I know he is if he just hangs onto that Mystery Writer Mistress of his, one Pamela June Kimmell. Way to go, Aesop!
