Sometimes it seems like a really good idea
Not to let the preferred option play out
Because you, the creator, have a right to do
What you will. This is,
After all, your tale,
You're the one telling, and no-one
Is going to tell you how to tell it.
Now here you are, "New York Times
Best Selling Author" like so many others,
And only you and your bank manager know
How different things might be.
Well, you always knew, didn't you,
Even at the most heightened moments
Of your individual creativity, you knew,
To let the preferred option play out
Because, option, or not, the preferred
Is preferred by so many
Some of them must be right,
Maybe even your bank manager.
