Without eXcuse
A publisher’s due
for exam.
It’s time to shed
light on his scam.
You ask, “Does he dare?”
You ask, “Does he dare?”
He’s full of hot
air.
Look out, or he’ll
go on the lam.
The trouble began
with a pop.
But soon, fellow
writers talked shop.
His ship sprang a
leak,
Inciting our pique,
And caused the best
wordsmiths to stop.
We’re guessing his
fortune’s reversed.
Perhaps he cannot
be coerced.
But writers disdain
And experts retain,
Expecting to be
reimbursed.
