The Writer's Christmas Wish

secret santa, I'm out of luck coz
every scene's sure to suck
chapters crash, darlings die
readers flee, I want to cry
editors refuse my calls
time to bounce off all four walls

should words no more I get to write
alliterate this Christmas night
needless nouns and vapid verbs
tasteless tripe, boring blurbs
an author's life kicked to the kerb
