Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It s based on a novel by a man named Lear,

and I need a job so I want to be a paperback writer,

It s a dirty story of a dirty man,

and his clinging wife doesn t understand.

His son is working for the Daily Mail,

it s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,

It s a thousand pages, give or take a few,

I ll be writing more in a week or two.

I can make it longer if you like the style,

I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
