My Brilliant Career

by Jim Benz

Last night I wrote a screenplay
Mumpsimus not knowing how to write
Mumpsimus not owning a pen
I wrote and uncovered
Mumpsimus a midget in tights
Mumpsimus ... wrote 3 acts on this one midget

Then I fell by some bottles on the floor
Mumpsimus and slept with the dog
Mumpsimus ... thrilled with my new career

So that's how it's meant to look -- a partial whitewash :>)
