At the Behest of Others

Nobody likes a copycat. Except the copyman.
Who copy, can. And copy, does. That man
Without a plan, copying with his sordid hands
Clearly coordinated paths. Insinuated can'ts lost
When the little devil on his shoulder in the body
Of a ram says listen copier, you can...you can!
They won't notice. They won't see,
You'll go down in history. A lovely little melody,
A tale of caution for the meek. The one that's been told,
On the whole,
A thousand times
Before.

Writing jokes

I think all profession jokes are lame, but these got a chuckle out of me.

How many mystery writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two. One to screw it almost all the way in, and the other to give it a surprising twist at the end.

How many screenwriters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Why does it have to be changed?

How many cover blurb writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A VAST AND TEEMING HORDE STRETCHING FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!!!!
