Wendy Cope <br />You have no hope <br />If you think the Muse will make you rich, <br /> <br />You may get fame <br />And make your name, <br />But the little lady is a bitch! <br /> <br />Whate'er you do <br />When writing verse <br />Won't earn you any money, <br /> <br />The joke's on you <br />And what is worse <br />It isn't very funny.<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wendy-cope-s-bank-statement-in-answer-to-her-article-in-the-gaurdian-weekly/
