Daniel S. Irwin

First Book

You know, the first book I ever put together
Was really full of crap just to see how a book
Would come out.  It was a true treasure of
The absurd, irreverent, vulgar, mega facetious,
Absolutely filthy purely moronic work that just
Flowed from my sick deranged head to fill pages.
Didn’t do it for money.  Never thought it would sell.
What kind of fool would waste hard earned dinero
On totally worthless absolute dung heap literature?
Shocking surprise, some did with expected results:
Hate mail, damnation to Hell, cast out by relatives.
Shoulda used a pen name.  But I never name my pens.
Sales so good, I had to order more books three times.
The quality of the printing and paper didn’t matter.
I sold most of them at the local church book burnings.
