Freelancing

Just a hefty poem I came up with on this beautiful Sunday morning. I haven't written anything in a while, so this I may be a bit rusty.

Jason tried so very hard to be a successful writer,

He sits in his mother’s basement, with a cigarette lighter.

                    He leans back in his chair, and takes a long puff                  

Dang, this writing thing sure is tough!

 

Alas, he finishes his latest work.

He posts it online, with one hell of a smirk.

Exhaustion setting in, he decides to go sleep,

It is not long however, when he is woken up by a beep

“It’s my computer” he thinks to himself

It is! It’s an E-mail, which reads “Your book sucks, kill yourself.”

Jason slumps back in his chair, surely depressed

“No one will ever like my books” he exclaims, truly stressed.

 

Don’t worry Jason! As he receives another beep a little while later

He runs to his computer, it’s another E-mail, from a foreign dictator!

“I love your book Jason; I would love to publish it in my nation, as it will increase my power”

Jason is confused, puzzled, and smelly, so he quickly takes a shower.

“Should I help this man? He sure is offering a lot of money”

But be careful Jason, world domination is not funny!

 

Jason runs back to his computer, as he has made his decision.

“I’m sorry sir; I cannot help you, as I have had a vision

If I were to help you, it would look like it is you who I support

So my answer is no, and I will be seeing you in International Court!”

 

In the dictator’s E-mails, he had sent Jason lots of private information,

So Jason showed this to the Judge, which led to the downfall of the dictator’s nation.

 

So the dictator had fallen, and people all around the world yelled “Jason, you are amazing!”

This then led to lots of gentle embracing.

Jason received truckloads of money from the court case

Making him one of the richest men of the human race

 

So Jason’s story ends here, as he sits on his large estate in his lawn chair

Turns out after all, Jason didn't have to be a writer, to become a billionaire.
