Achieving a Modicum of Success
Modicum, as in a medium (small “m”) amount
All of the ways you can “make it” on this writing platform. Messaged and massaged with as many “medium” (small “m”) synonyms as I could muster.
Tag telepathically, just right
Like a sorcerer, in the dark night
Write stories of just the right length
Conjure up all your strength
Four minutes is just about medium
Too long is just about tedium
Too short, don’t you know it
They’ll call you a poet
There’s no lucre there
So rhymers beware
Can you prophet from loss?
You can, if you do dare toss
Self-Help or How-To in the sauce
Then you’re being the boss
A diviner you’ll be
A clairvoyant, genie
A sage who’s a seer
A soothsayer, “Shakes pee-er”
A psychic, a mystic, bar none
Praise Neo, you are the one
You peer through the matrix
Watch Al Gorithm, he play tricks
