I just knew I would have to complete this. Here's the newest version.







You Don’t Have To Die to be famous.

Just write a few lines; make them rhyme.

Bind them together and publish your book.

Pass out several copies you’ll sign.

Sign up for a web page and brag about you

They’ll be raving ‘bout you in no time.

You Don’t Have To Die to be famous.

Just write a few words that will rhyme.

 

You Don’t Have To Die to be famous.

Folks all love both music and rhyme.

The Beatles told you it was easy to do

And they proved it time after time.

Receiving applause takes no effort.

Live literature still does just fine:

Take Rather and Hillary, O’Riely and King

The write words that don’t even rhyme.

 

If you want what you say remembered,

Each word written to sell for a dime—

Be outrageous, audacious, and a little sagacious—

Folks will struggle to read every line.

Sign up for a web page and brag about you

They’ll be raving ‘bout you in no time.

You Don’t Have To Die to be famous.

Just write a few words that will rhyme.
