hey, that’s great, of what?

 

of writing poems

 

wow, that’s a lot, congratulations

 

it’s relative though, isn’t it?

 

what do you mean?

 

if I owed someone $2,500,

then 2,443 wouldn’t be enough

 

you could sell a few poetry books

 

HA, and what do you think they’re worth,

in fact, why don’t you read one of mine now

and give me an idea

 

ahhhh, that’s OK, I really have to go

 

then let me give you a book to take with you

 

I’m not a fan of poetry and wouldn’t be a good judge

 

well, I get it, that was me most of my life

 

so you understand

 

I do, but thank you for the good wishes anyway

 

your welcome, and I hope you never fall into debt

 

why, because selling my poetry would be off the table?

 

I didn’t say that you did
