Introduction

This is a fictional situation, whatever you might read into it

No Chance

β›”πŸš«πŸ“΅πŸš·πŸ“΅πŸš«β›”

I Thought I'd Write A Villanelle

With This Form, I Am An Expert

They Said No Chance, Now Go To Hell

β›”πŸš«πŸš·πŸš«β›”

And They Don't Think My Work Will Sell

Anyone Else Is Far Better

I Thought I'd Write A Villanelle

β›”πŸš«πŸš·πŸš«β›”

Then They Rang Their Funeral Bell

Saying I Should Never Bother

They Said No Chance, Now Go To Hell

β›”πŸš«πŸš·πŸš«β›”

I'm The One They Want to Expel

But Know I Am Here Forever

I Thought I'd Write A Villanelle

β›”πŸš«πŸš·πŸš«β›”

Know I Do This Perfectly Well

And Any Regret Will Be Theirs

They Said No Chance, Now Go To Hell

β›”πŸš«πŸš·πŸš«β›”

This Is The Story I Will Tell

I Have No Regret, It Is Theirs

I Thought I'd Write A Villanelle

They Said No Chance, Now Go To Hell

β›”πŸš«πŸ“΅πŸš·πŸ“΅πŸš«β›”

    You are indeed the expert, Mike, nicely done.

    Good job. It describes trying to get into college, trying to get a job, as well as the writing for publication syndrome.
