Today's Napowrimo prompt is to write a poem of instructions using the same stanza structure.
four ways to
skin your finger
were given to you
by a father-figure.
you will follow each,
quite on accident,
and find that the
methods are fitting.
you will write a bestseller
and call it "what skinning
my finger four ways
taught me." honest stuff.
later, you will be sued by
that same father-figure.
don't settle. tell him
you'll see him in court.
show up to the court in
a jester costume and say
that you are nobody's fool.
this will earn you respect.
tell that father-figure that
he'd be nothing without
your fine prose and your
striking picture in the book's jacket.
don't settle. pay the lawyer fees.
this one is personal. this is not
"his vision", this is your very
skinned finger's inheritance.
end the moment with
a musical number. everyone
learns through your song. isn't
that the point? isn't it? bow. curtain.
