~Campbell Soup Rejection~
A POET
sent his collection of POEMS
to a PUBLISHER.
The PUBLISHER
read one POEM
then tossed them ALL
into the TRASH
along with his LUNCH.
The POET
expected to WAIT six months
for a REPLY from the PUBLISHER,
and after FIVE months,
while scrounging around a local DUMP
looking for ALUMINUM cans
he found his POEMS
in the RUBBISH with
CHICKENNOODLESOUP
splattered all over them.

Publishers are cruel and unemotional. One strung me along for nearly a year with promises and soons then dropped me callously. I don't doubt your story.
