GK: .....brought to you by POEM, the profession of English majors. Whether you're teaching for a living, or building houses, or raising cattle ---- tell the truth ----- wouldn't you really rather be an author?
GK (SINGS):
When you're an author, then you don't bother
To worry what people think
They may be clappin' or it may happen
Your book will make a stink.
But if you're writing the truth --- (and you will)
It may disgust them or give them a thrill
So go out there and be distinguished
That's why you majored in English.
When you're writing, it's so exciting
When you are lighting the page on fire.
It is outrageous how many pages
You write when you're inspired.
And when you're finished, you send it away
And it is published ---- a best-seller ---- HEY
And all the critics go crazy for you
That's what an English major can do
