Writer's Decalogue
Cultivate the Wodehouse glide;
Let the public taste decide.
Don't upset the applecart;
Banish miserable art.
Be a crafter and a grafter.
Summon gaiety and laughter.
Read a bit; write lots and lots;
Keep it sunny. As to plots
Pretty girls and aunts should feature.
Don't have much to do with Nietzsche:
Don't have much to do with Germans.
Pass on politics and sermons.
Keep your writing light as air,
Sweet, untroubled, free from care,
Dancing like the dappled leaves.
Send the heavy stuff to Jeeves.
