WRITE!
write !
he thought
he would like
to write a story
so he wisely
signed up
for the necessary
Guardian courses
‘how to tell a story’
for four thousand pounds
‘how to complete a first draft’
for another four thousand pounds
‘how to finish a work of fiction’
for another four thousand pounds
‘how to write historical fiction’
‘how to write a psychological thriller’
and ‘how to write children’s fiction’
for two thousand pounds each
but then discovered at
eighteen thousand pounds later
that he had no money left
for a pen nor paper
and sort of lost
interest in the idea
and wandered off
and pruned his
roses instead
