Sense Sonnet - Acher

I Coulda Had Harry

As a publisher, I used to
Get loads of manuscripts to read.
I got one thick one good to do
My office door stop duty deed.
After about 6 months went by,
I realized that I need send
That submission back with reply
Of sorry, cannot recommend.
It simply has no mass appeal.
Wizard stories are so boring.
Find a subject that fills with zeal.
You're new to this, J. K. Rowling.

Harry Potter turned out to be
The end of publishing for me.
