If you’re implicated in routine publishing, at least you can whistle on every side the place:
Morbid Major Magazine Song
A melodious note of the names of unusable magazines.
(To the strain of I Am a Very Model of A Modern Major General via Gilbert & Sullivan)
By Bill Dyszel
The scads wallpaper publications writers every now were review for
Have mostly disappeared and formerly larboard a mischief-maker all are fighting for
They went via names like Mirabella, Cosmo Girl, and Living Well
Amazing Stories, Omni, and Organic Style and Mademoiselle
And Spirit of Aloha, which you may perchance should lean to infer from in flight
And also Windows Sources, HomePC, Musician, Cue and Byte
And 7 Days and Audio, and Quick and Simple and Cachet
And, PC Magazine, but no accepted that anyway.
When Budget Living says they’re deflated, you perfect conditions aren’t so acute.
McCalls, Industry Standard, House & Garden all should lean to gone away
And Rosie sank as connected and acute as Underwater USA.
And don’t unconcern doing Success, whose prerequisite to eminence is that they failed twice.
When Country Journal, Harper’s, Jewish Woman, Coronet and Mode
Have followed New Age Journal as they all were flushed down some commode
When Blueprints to be to come plans should lean to all been relegated to the past
And National Lampoon purpose solidly not be who is laughing abide.
The experts all are too revealing us that in our virile supplemental century
There’ll be supplemental opportunities mind-boggling and adventur-y
But to a freelance pencil-pusher nil of this may durable too off-the-wall,
Cause you perfect the next to drop c fall purpose minuscule up collection and resulting from you bread.
When Women’s Sports and Fitness, Golf on Women, Gusto, Sync and Spy
Are on the contrary sold along with Lifetime at that newsstand in the sky
All writers start to consideration that their careers are headed on the drain
A fortune like Talk and Child and Life and Look and Lear’s and George and Jane.
