SONG PARODIES

A WRITER'S LAMENT

(or The Ups and Downs of Being an Online Writer)

Once I used to get so many comments
Once I used to get so many "likes"

Write dear writer
try and try
and your words will reach the sky

Wondrous visions fill your eyes
Fame awaits you in this life

Write dear writer
try and try
and your words will reach the sky

Once I used to get
so many comments
Once I used to get
so many "likes"

Write dear writer
try and try
and your words
will reach the sky

Boris you're gonna carry that pen
carry that pain
a long time

Boris you're gonna carry that pen
carry that pain
a long time

You never give me your feedback
You only give me your "thanks for sharing"
And in the middle of our Facebook chatting
you log out

Boris you're gonna carry that pen
carry that pain
a long time

​


Boris you're gonna carry that pen
carry that pain
a long time

Oh yeah
alright
are you gonna read my stuff tonight?

Read it!
Read it!
....

And in the end
the comments got
are equal to
the comments wrote.
