Visiting My Publisher

We really loved your book, we think it’s really great,
But could you, would you, could you condense the pages down by eight?
We really loved your title, it’s bound to be a hit,
But could you, would you, could you see your way to changing it?

We really loved the hero and the villain is divine,
But could you, would you, could you lose the sex scene on page nine?
We really loved the heroine, of her we’re really fond,
But could you, would you, could you contemplate her being blonde?

We really loved the car chase and the lesbian sub plot,
But could you, would you, could you make the sex a bit less hot?
We loved all the sexy bits, all those nipples and erections,
But could you, would you, could you concentrate on the corrections?
