:)

They'd come around and
They'd ask
"You finished you
2nd novel yet?"

"No."

"Whatsamatta? Whatsamatta
That you can't
Finish it?"

"Hemorrhoids and
Insomnia."

"Maybe you've lost
It?"

"Lost what?"

"You know."

Now when they come
Around I tell then,
"Yeh. I finished
It. Be out in Sept."

"You FINISHED it?"

"Yeh."

"Well, listen, I gotta go."

Even the cat
Here in the courtyard
Won't come to my door
Anymore.

It's nice.

This is good. How to avoid annying people. Tell them what they want and they will go away
