The Number One Seller

You really have to hand it to reality
When it comes to drama
Not Hollywood
Not books
Or drunken imagination

Sober reality
Will knock anyone's socks off
Prompting people to say
You just can't write this stuff

Raising the question
Why should anyone read a novel
Or write one for that matter
When every excitement
Scenario beyond imagination
Is right there on the internet

Fresh daily happenings
All day and all night
With ceaseless drama

Such that if someone
Wrote a novel with
No drama whatsoever 

It would become
The number one seller
On NYTimes bestseller list
As the best fiction
