From Oratorealis, Vol. 1, No. 1.
Dear still unpublished writer:
Thank you for your submission to:
generic unprofitable lower-case canadian poetry magazine.
Unfortunately
We will not be
Publishing your work
At this time.
We are currently
Reviewing many equally
Not bad poems for our
Upcoming edition on
The meta-theme of
Unprofitable Canadian poetry magazines.
We hope you will buy this issue when it comes out,
Or send a donation, or both!
You might consider taking out
An annual subscription at our
Special introductory price of z.
Or, perhaps attend one of several
Upcoming fund-raiser’s, which
Will feature readings by
Myself.
Thanks for your interest in poetry, and keep trying.
Signed
R.Q.B. Vaxxmann,
Editor
