A Ballad By The Bard!


Poem Artwork

Approximate 12 bar blues, with wailing steel guitars, mourneful harmonicas and heartfelt vocals....btw I can't even play the guitar, I'm a drummer!

I looked upon the web I did
To see what I could see
I went to look at Amazon
And saw what amazed me!

Now I don't got a lot of cash
There ain't much coming in
I went to see my bank today
And they looked pretty grim!

I said, 'But Hey! I got some news,
It might just drive you spare,
But if you look on Amazon,
I am a trillionaire!'

As I once wrote, it's in my book
It's there for all to see
I may not have a lot of money
But, my wealth resides in me!

Well, it has to , my rating on Amazon is.....

wait for it.....ya ready?????



Amazon.com Sales Rank: #3,237,995 !!!

seems I got a tad of a way to go for the Times best seller list, don't ya think?

Well said and I adore your sense of humor. Look at the upside of all this, you are in the ranks of the "Millions Club". Point being no matter what the numbers, you made the list. What was your sales rank before your book? Bet you were no where to be found. Never give up, always follow your dreams....

Be always safe,
Karen

I haven't checked my Amazon rating lately. At one point, it has risen as high as 80,000. The last I saw, it was back in the 2,000,000 range. I don't put much stock in Amazon's precious ranking. From everything I've read, it's horribly skewed.

Cute poem, Rainbow. Have a wonderful day,
Jill
