When I write a poem and publish it
It's not so unexpected
No one will pay attention to it
Just as I suspected
I submitted some poems I wrote
To a publisher, thought they'd be accepted
But I should have realized
Of course, they were rejected
I keep a pile on my desk of my letters of rejection
Don't even have one single letter of acception
Is acception a word? Maybe that the reason?
Not sure if it is or not, I'm only teasin'
Can't these places make for me an exception?
I can be the exception to the rule
But I am such a fool, should forget about the poems
I'd rather watch TV but I don't get good reception
