Writing Limericks for Fun and Profit

Five lines = untold millions

Some limerick I wrote made three bucks

Readers it seems gave some fucks

I imagine a novel

Would free from his hovel

A writer who wrote it, deluxe!

I’m on to something no doubt.

If a one-minute read is worth $3 and counting, imagine how much lucre I’d rake in if I wrote something that engaged readers for hours? My logic seems unassailable here.

I’m still working out the details, but please keep my get-rich-quick scheme to yourselves until I can get my novel written, edited, published and marketed. After I’ve done mine, you can do yours. Seems fair.

Thanks!
