Dear Writer,
Please don't achieve anything in life -
I try to be lenient, but it's all so inconvenient
Don't marry and have kids and be a husband or a wife
Don't get an education, go to school or to college
What's the point of all that knowledge?
Don't work, don't earn, don't teach
don't clean the barns or be a priest and preach,
Don't be social and contribute
Don't have role models and pay tribute
Don't be philanthropic
Boy! That's a WHOLE OTHER TOPIC!!
Don't, don't, don't ever write to anthologies and get published
Don't bring out books...well may be one or two
Don't be nominated and win awards
Pretend you have the flu if you do
Don't have hobbies other than to write
Don't sing, don't click, don't bite or fly a kite
And certainly don't be from Delhi, Paris, London or Ohio -
You see, I just want a non-existent bio.
