How to have a bestselling book:
1. Be a celebrity
2. Be endorsed by a celebrity
3. Have a movie made of your book by a celebrity
So how do you become a celebrity?
1. Be on a reality show or really stupid video
2. Be endorsed by a celebrity
3. Write a bestselling book
But how do you get endorsed by a celebrity?
1. Be related to someone who can help you
2. Be totally unique and original
3. Be a supporter of their favorite cause
Well then, how do you have a movie made of your book by a celebrity?
1. Be related to someone who can help you
2. Rewrite and rehash someone else’s unique and original material
3. Let your book be rewritten to support the celebrity’s favorite cause

Oh the timewasters you'll see if only you'll look,
Myspace to be Linkedin to the Face in a Book.
Twittering tweets, Youtube and ipod itunes,
Hulu, IM, Txting, Bebo, Tivo and Zunes.
.

Oh the timewasters you'll use with great wonder and glee,
No need for plane travel, just plain electricity.
Wi Fi, RPG, Flickr, email, ebay's un-store,
Webisode overload, morph, Moodle, Skype hype and more.

Oh the timewasters you'll try and find and do.
Celebrity chats, Google, kudos, Yahoo.
Podcast broadcasts, Wikipedia, T9--
Captcha imagination, networking's mined.


Oh the timewasters you'll pick for every occasion
Blogs and ezines, can you Kindle the elation?
With all the sense spent on such cents-less play
Why not buy my book and go tech free for a day?
