There once was a very sad poetry book.

It was a book of childrens poetry called 'Children's Poems to Enjoy'
and it had been languishing on Amazon.co.uk for a very, very long time because, you see, no one wanted to buy it.

Infact the book was so sad that it often thought of ending its miserable life by leaping into a shredder and being cut to ribbons or jumping onto a fire and burning itself to cinders or diving into a tub of water and just lying there, listlessly, until it turned to pulp.

But then one day, believe it or not, someone looking on Amazon. co.uk, searching for the perfect book of children's poems to warm their heart, found that poetry book called 'Children's Poems to Enjoy' and they bought it and then within only 1 to 2 working days it was delivered to their door and there it lived, playing and sometimes getting up to hilarious antics with all the other books on their bookshelf, happily ever after.

Thanks, insert.

No. I downloaded the cover picture from thinkstock. Sadly, I didn't put any illustrations inside which I now realize was a big mistake but if I can afford to I will republish it with some interior illustrations.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Good Luck with it all.

There really should be an award for editors on abctales, I think. Claudine Lazar/Insert goes about like the good website fairy and helps people. She deserves some kind of editors cherry or a golden pineapple or something.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
