This is a Shakespearean sonnet about finishing your first TV pilot.

You'd better finish that TV pilot.
Send it out to the TV studios.
If you don't send it out, they will riot.
Then you won't get any more Oscar roles.

You're really good at this stuff, and it shows.
You read, write and speak like an alien.
Don't watch what's on TV, because it blows.
It sucks, everyone's a contrarian.

Remember when your character said that?
And when they had the car chase on the street?
Like they say, dimps in the front, toes in back.
Did you have to write that about her feet?

Go out and promote your new TV show.
Will it get on TV? I think you know.
