Writing Is Fun Poem by Douglas Scotney
Writing Is Fun
'to be and to not be'
is so tempting to some,
that 'not to be'
sounds to be wrong.
Hence, I said, 'The big hint in the Intro
is to not start at the start.'
I'm talking about 'Moby-Dick':
it's better to start in the thick.
For such as
'betokened in his backbone'*,
a writer just has to be poet;
also,
for starting his tale about a whale
with 'CALL ME Ishmael.'
* chpt 80
