To the brave and grumpy few
Who still have stories in Analog's queue
Three hundred days and more to see
Whether or not Analog accepts thee
"Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
That here, obedient to Spartan law, we lie."

I waited two days for each word of my story
The outcomes were just a little bit gory
I wrenched out my heart with a wandering noun
Then painted my guts all over the town
"Enough!" I cried, tears streaming my face
Then shot myself off into deep space
I died out there, knowing my life was a fail
But the next day an acceptance lay in my mail
Yawn. Had enough of waiting now.
