The Problems with Self-Publishing

 

The problems with self-publishing are self-publishers:

“Everyone just loves my book; tell me what you think

It’s about my cousin who was a Navy SEAL

And then became a millionaire and then a priest

 

“He saved the nation from nuclear warfare

In a mission so classified that we can’t talk about it

(But he told me all about it, of course)

And then he saved souls and counseled popes 

“My book is inspired by the Holy Spirit

So read it tonight and tell me what you think”

A Cure for the Common Scold -doggerel (thinking of the cast of the Harry Potter films)
