The Funny Thing Is

The funny thing is
About the thing
That I thought me of
Though I would love
To charge a penny a day
I'm in Canada eh
And stupid-headed me
Forgot me this
The penny no longer exists

So how can I charge
A penny a day
When a penny
Just ain't no more
Like it was before

But a penny a day
Fuckin' eh
That's oh so cool
A thing to say
Like cooler than a nickel each
Life's a beach

So what's a fuck to do
As much as I'd like for you
And your keeping of the money
For which you've worked 
So damn hard
When what I do
Is just write write write
And write some more
Which ain't hard at all

And a thousand writers shout at me
Who the hell are you
Saying such a thing
When writing's hard
Just not physically 
And in a world
Filled with those
Who toil yes
The farmer and the miner
The worker of steel
Well you get my point
So don't get your nose our of joint
Because it's a different hard indeed

Besides
When I say
A million eh
That's just the draft
That comes out first
The one that's worst

Only keeping it true
How many would even try to do
Such a crazy thing
And not just 'cause
They know themselves
That they can't even
Though that's a fact
As what kind of fool
Can even write
Like three damn k
Each and every day

Yeah I've done the math
And I know what it takes
Because I've tried it before
And got myself close
If three hundred g
Can be considered that

And this year well
I've had my share
Of great good days
That lead me to know
I'm good to go
On this journey yes
With my success
A goodly certainty

But back to the beginning
Of this very verse
Where I was sad to say
I can't make it be
A penny a day
Because it no longer is
Which leads me to
The only conclusion
That I can make
It's a nickel son
Or daughter duh
My writing's for all
And who can't afford
The cost of that

Though thousands will say alas
You worthless ass
I can afford it yes I can
But you're not the man
I care to support
Because you are who again
And you want to do what
Get the fuck off
You ain't even worth
A penny no
Let alone five

Which is a truth
That I can accept
Plenty will laugh and say
Nah not you
Like you could even do
What you say you will
Or even did
If in the year to come
They find themselves
Invited to partake of me
On my goodly journey

That being said
I'm willing to believe
Yes believe in me
And dare to dream
There's thousands more
Who will come along
And make me strong
As their handy nickels
Allow me to write write write
And write some more

So a nickel yo
Each good day
That I'll surely be
Yes present for
As I do it daily yes
Not a single miss
Since two aught six
And no miss at all
For the goodly rest
Of my life's best
Barring issues of health

Yeah I'll post it all up
For hardly no cost at all
And that's a deal indeed
You'll get to read
Some cool good shit
Like stories eh
I'm not just a poet
All about myself
As yes my poetry is 
All about me
And I ain't even
Nah I ain't even no

And all I need from you
Or friends of yours
Is hundreds eh
And if I can find my way
To thousands of followers
On twitter when
I give them so much less
Then I'll give through this
Then the plan over there
Since I'll need a site
To host all I that write
In the coming year
Is a plan worth planning

So expect to see this thing
It's most assuredly yes
Coming to 
A computer near you
And all for the cost
Of five good cents
Each peach filled day
Petrie to peach
It makes good sense to me
And this will make the same
To you yourself
You almost can't say no
So don't
Say yes to the peach
Say yes to the peach indeed
He's worth a read
