Communication is a worldwide farm
Writers, like farmers, feed the hungry world,
While the weather does wonders, or wreaks harm
Write drama, alarm, pass nuggets of charm
Instruction manuals are daily meat
Everyone needs guides, we all need to eat
The promises and hopes of each nation
A team, finds a theme, communication
Bus time tables, toilet signs at stations
At Toastmasters we listen, learn to teach
A set of tools within everyone's reach
To distill a clear message, with a joke
In a crisp five to seven minute speech
Right recalled wrongs, pen poetry and songs
Like icing preserves and decorates cake
Lullabies help restless babies to sleep
Rhythmic songs while you work, keep you awake
Businesses make losses in their first year,
Be prepared, don't waste time on fears and tears
A cook's first home-made food, feeding only one
Cookbooks and pubs make money, profit, fun
Even a student starts hopeful and keen
But even beginners need small money
They needs lots of input for small output
Like worker bees, produce runny honey
But what I like is solid, thick, honey
It's crunchy and munchy and costs more money
So I can buy, guiltlessly, dear honey
I need to write what sells and makes money
To start a business or book's a worry
You sit up half the night - until daylight
There's hope, after years of experience
You learn what sells and you get it all right.
At last, writing's is easier and quick
The result's writer's and readers' delight.
