I Know An Author


I know an author who swallowed a book,
I don't know why he swallowed a book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed some art,
He was really smart to swallow some art.
He swallowed the art to go inside the book,
I don't know why he swallowed a book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed a word,
That's what I heard he swallowed a word.
He swallowed the word to go with the art,
He swallowed the art to go inside the book,
I don't know why he swallowed a book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed a pen,
He did it again, he swallowed a pen.
He swallowed the pen to add to the word,
He swallowed the word to go with the art,
He swallowed the art to go inside the book.
I don't know why he swallowed the book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed a Query letter.
He felt much better when he swallowed a letter.
He swallowed the letter to go with the pen,
He swallowed the pen to add to the word,
He swallowed the word to go with the art,
He swallowed the art to go inside the book.
I don't know why he swallowed the book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed a box,
He looked like an ox when he swallowed a box.
He swallowed the box to go with the letter,
He swallowed the letter to go with the pen,
He swallowed the pen to add to the word,
He swallowed the word to go with the art,
He swallowed the art to go inside the book,
I don't know why he swallowed a book,
he gave me a funny look.
I know an author who swallowed a stamp.
He is a scamp for swallowing the stamp.
He swallowed the stamp to go on the box,
He swallowed the box to go with the letter,
He swallowed the letter to go with the pen,
He swallowed the pen to add to the word,
He swallowed the word to go with the art,
He swallowed the art to go inside the book,
I don't know why he swallowed the book,
he gave me a funny look.
He coughed up a box with his book and Query letter inside.
He mailed the box to a publishing house.
The editor opened the box and found the author's book inside.
Will the editor publish the author's book?
Stay tuned........................................................
