NO ONE CAN EVER BE LINCOLN.
Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 9:09AM It was President's Day on Monday and everywhere politicians were purporting themselves as the great Abraham Lincoln. No matter how hard people try, none can even come close to matching that eternally honorable yet humble man. Words are amazing and Lincoln's will forever remain monumental. One simple phrase will illustrate when I mean.
Eight score and seven days ago, I brought forth a new company dedicated to saving you time, money and peace of mind. --There you have it.
Poetry is not my proficiency, but here's one I thank you for reading.
People hate writing and constantly ask,
“Why should I bother? It’s a pain in my _ _ _”
So, on Sept. 1, 2008 Master Manuscripts
Boldly shot out of the gate
Well, since then I’ve been proven right.
My clients grow, get published and prosper with might.
Poetry wasn’t thought a tool at the time, but
I offer you now some tear jerking rhymes.
Last fall, I had a dream and a big wakeup yelp
Staffing agents sent me job seekers for resume help.
A magazine made me its editor and writer of letters,
It was working real hard and I made it better.
But this was all new because until then for my best
I was rewarded by just one flattering request:
“Hey Mark, could you please us today?”
“But oh yeah, we’re sorry, we don’t want to pay.”
Yet I was happy to give and without delay,
I’d answer, “No problem, I’ll help anyway.”
It was unity for purpose, no more or no less
My talents were harnessed I really was blessed.
I still paid my taxes, insurance and rent, but
No couches, no cable or dollars I’d spend
‘Cause there was no way I’d go into debt.
The hundreds of jobs for which I applied
All rendered the form letter,
“Sorry, but thanks for your time.”
None of that mattered because deep down I knew
Someday I’d progress, but it had better be soon.
The bill stack got higher and one cloudy day
I saw the depression stampeding my way.
So all those degrees, talents and me
Went out to the streets our savior to see.
We stood up and demanded things change,
Big time inspired by the ‘08 campaign.
So now here we are and everyone fears,
What’s gonna happen when
Obama and Limbaugh join for a beer.
They ramble on ‘cause everything’s wrong,
But I know you have praiseworthy song.
Your message it matters,
You’ve got something to say.
Don’t hold back,
Today is your day.
But if time and tension
Keeps it locked in the dark
Call Master Manuscripts,
I’ll make your mark.

You put it so well. I'll pay you big time money if you'll help me spend more. Have you ever considered moving to Illinois? We need people as inspired and convincing as you.
You are awesome, and talented. Thanks for helping so many make their mark!!
