I asked permission to repost this from the comments on my Your Dream Agent post. I thought it was so much fun that everyone should have a chance to read it.
Thank you for sharing!
The Perfect Agent
Wanted an agent for one adorable writer! 🙂
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Fair critiques, no snark!
Play nice, don’t bark.
You must be kind, and it helps to be witty
Tell me I’m great when I’m feeling s**ty
Read my novel, say it rocks
Say it’s rad and it knocks off socks
Never be quiet too long
Never say I’m right when I am wrong
Love my writing more than I do
And never lie so I won’t fire you
If you are diligent with submissions
I will never fail to send revisions
I can send you chocolates to make you smile
You can send me checks every once in a while
Hurry agent!
I say with
Sincerity,
Writer, Colin Smith. 🙂
For those who don’t get the reference.:
I am truly, deeply honored. Thanks Jessica! 😀
Colin, as usual, awesome times 2.
Yay, Colin! You do rock!
Oh well done, Colin!
Love it, Colin. I sang the song the whole time I was reading it.
Oh, well done! What a wonderful start to the week. Much sincerity!
Bravo, Colin! Such a clever weaving of words.
You're a poet too??? Way to put the pressure on, Colin.
Seriously, very nice!
Fantastic, Colin! Two thumbs up. 😀
Thanks, everyone! Donna, don't worry, I don't consider myself a poet. Yes, the first Janet Reid writing contest I won was for a poem. When the muse strikes, as it did with this, I can usually come up with something. But I prefer prose. 🙂
Repeating my comment from the first time, your poem rocks, Colin.
(although I do have to echo Donnaeve… setting the goal posts way high, thanks!)
