Cheap Novel

Like a cheap detective novel
case solved in chapter one.
'Cause the editor says so
write on till he says its done.

Go find something to thrill
more readers of the book.
Words to make them read on
and to take another look.

Find some sleasy fella
to make all who read hate
his actions yet they thrill
and make our mood satiate.

Locate some wild woman
to join him in the fray.
While stumbling thru life
in her own sloven way.

We read those type novels
to liven up our own thought.
Pretending as we wallow
hoping not to be caught.

Yep, them cheap novels serve
a purpose even still.
Like when I write of lust
and lots of our secret will.
