Known to the world as the "Banksy of verse" the author, whoever it was
First thought of publishing "Letters of Life" in anger but also because
History's shown how the lone pamphleteer rarely informs and engages
Better to do it in paperback form, spread over hundreds of pages
The very first lines in "Letters of Life" imparted their sobering vision
"The roadways of life are paved with flat squirrels that couldn't make a decision!"
The day it was launched was crazy indeed. Everyone came to the party
Including of course, as one would expect, certain select twitterati
Booze began flowing and thumbs got to work, spreading the Letters' agenda
Targeted straight at the Twitter spittoon (or some emerging pretender)
The book persevered in similar vein, recounting that old evergreen
"If things don't work out the way you expect you can always tilt the machine!"
We all can recall the plan that implied debunking of all superstition
Trusting the meek to inherit the earth was never the LoL's mission!
There were of course those protesting its worth and obvious populist tropes
But nobody somehow delivered a blow to knock it back onto the ropes
Dutiful columnists flourished their pens, acclaiming the book as a bargain
"...Dispensing," one of them pleasingly wrote, "with all of life's meaningless jargon!"
Most of them loved it but some had their doubts, those in support being smitten
Others believing, if push came to shove, better it hadn't been written!
One critic, eager to show her disdain, spoke for the dissident few
"Significant words appear right at the end!" she concluded in her review
Virtuous sentiments beyond dispute that certainly didn't escape her
"Letters of Life" is ethically sourced and printed on recycled paper!
First thought of publishing "Letters of Life" in anger but also because
History's shown how the lone pamphleteer rarely informs and engages
Better to do it in paperback form, spread over hundreds of pages
The very first lines in "Letters of Life" imparted their sobering vision

The day it was launched was crazy indeed. Everyone came to the party
