My dear Sir	A
In the whole round	B
Of animated nature	A
I am acquainted	C
With nothing or nobody	D
Who is generally speaking	E
So gay gaudy and interesting	E
As yourself	F
From my youth up	G
I have been taught to look upon a publisher	A
As a very great person indeed	H
When I was young and courted him	I
He it was drew from me	D
As morn from Memnon	J
Rivers of melody	D
The which however	A
He took good care	K
Not to glorify with his imprimatur	A
In those days	L
I looked upon publishing as a trade	M
And poetry as a profession	N
Recently I have become wise	O
And I feel in the heart of me	D
That publishing is a profession	N
And poetry a trade	M
In spite of all that has been said to the contrary	D
Barabbas	O
Certainly was not a publisher	A
I have not had time to look him up	G
But I feel quite sure	P
That he was not a professional man	Q
Besides	O
If he was a publisher	A
Why did he not publish something	E
Echo and the Publishers' Association	N
No doubt answer	A
Why	R
I sometimes think I should like to be a publisher myself	F
It must be rather nice	O
To know for a fact	S
How many copies	O
Mr So and so and Mr So and so and Mr So and so	O
Really do sell	T
And how many A second large edition	N
And Tenth impression	N
Really mean	U
It must be rather nice also	O
To go off to Switzerland every year	V
With your wife	W
To attend the Publishers' Conference	O
It must be rather nice too	X
To know of a surety	D
That when an author is making money	D
Some publisher or other	A
Is making just as much	Y
And not infrequently a trifle more	Z
On the same work	A2
We have learnt of late	B2
Greatly to our disgust	C2
That when a publisher dies rich	D2
He has made his money out of Apollinaris	O
This is hard on authors	O
Who between ourselves	O
Are not by any means bad people	E2
And invariably take a kindly interest	C2
In their publishers' welfare	K
On the other hand	F2
You must admit sir	A
That a publisher seldom goes bankrupt	G2
And does not as a rule sleep	H2
Under his own counter	A
Once	O
I lent a publisher half a crown	I2
He paid it back	J2
The average author would have taken it	K2
As money earned	L2
So that on the whole	M2
I am inclined to like publishers	O
And to set them down in my tablets	O
For	Z
Useful persons	O
