OTTO FULFILS A BUCKET LIST WISH

Provided you’ve paid attention and not played Whist,
I imagine you’ve heard of a Bucket List?
An itemized wish list of things you wish to achieve,
Before, this realm, you are obliged to leave.
Otto had such a Bucket List, and although crude,
Most of the item’s revolved around food.
But there was one item of an exceptional note,
This refrained from involving a food gloat vote.
He saw himself writing a grand book,
Ideally, it would be a book for a cook,
But cooking was not his speciality.
Eating definitely was, breakfast, lunch, tea.
He would write a book about travel and food.
Well, travel he might omit, but eating is good.
He would entitle his work, the GLUTTON’S GLOSSARY.
It would include eating houses in Manors and Hostelry.
Useful tips for the ingestion of calories,
For everyone, whether on low or high salaries.
A Calorie Counter Chart with quarter actual calories.

Otto worked on this project both night and day,
He had a plate of sandwiches to keep hunger at bay.
So it was, by the end of the week,
His manuscript was ready for a peek.
He first took it to a well known publishing house,
They threw him right out, his fervour to douse,
Yelling at him as they slammed the door in his face,
“You are a disgusting dolt, a real disgrace!”
Well, this was not the result he had expected,
He felt downcast and soundly rejected.
“What to do? How to fix?”
Publishers kept saying nix!

Otto was a “square” but not a “cube”,
He listed his book via video on U-Tube.
There it proved an instant success,
Gourmets and Gourmands all loved his mess.
That is to say, his messy approach,
To that subject of eating they so loved to broach.
Otto’s ratings soared in an upwards spiral,
Yes, quite simply, his posting went viral!
