Somewhere Over the Budget
("Somewhere Over the Rainbow")
Somewhere over the budget
This book lies
I wish she'd stick with a decision
Quick, before someone dies.
If she makes me redo the
Cover again
I'll stab her in the eye with
her little editing pen.
I must admit-I really hate it
When she says, "Repaginate it
-my way!"
In 16-point Helvetica
It's such a blatant-[sigh]-faux pas
Who cares what I say?
Someday-After this book has
Gone to print,
I will start up my own press
And make myself a mint.
Since no one cares if they should fly
Beyond the budget,
Why-oh why-should I?
