I’m eternally grateful
\nTo El’s past influences<\/a>
\nBut that will not free me
\nI am not diseased
\nAll the people ask me
\nHow I wrote the blockchain book<\/a><\/p>\n

Life should be full of strangeness
\nLike a rich painting
\nBut it gets worse day by day
\nI’m a potential ICO advisor<\/a>
\nA creeping wreck
\nA mental wretch
\nEverybody asks me
\nHow I wrote the blockchain book<\/p>\n

His wallet hurts though it’s well filled up
\nThe cryptos received are mentally sent back
\nOr sent to the bitcoin eater
\nThe CoinDesk magazine just about sums him up
\ne.g.<\/i> self-satisfied, smug<\/p>\n

I’m living a blog
\nPeople say, “You are entitled to and great.”
\nBut I haven’t posted for 90 days
\nI’ll get a good deal and I’ll go away
\nAway from the empty addresses that ask
\nHow I wrote the blockchain book<\/p>\n

His last work was “Satoshi Mystery” in the Coin Telegraph Mail,
\nAn article in Coin Idol Eyes;
\nThe only thing real is waking and rubbing your eyes<\/p>\n

So I’m resigned to bed
\nI keep review records and comics<\/a> stuffed by its head
\nF\u2014 it, let the hair grow
\nI’m too tired,
\nI’ll do it tomorrow
\nThe fridge is sparse
\nBut in the town
\nThey’ll stop me in the shoppes
\nVerily they’ll track me down
\nTouch my shoulder and ignore my dumb mission
\nAnd sick red faced smile
\nAnd they will ask me
\nAnd they will ask me
\nHow I wrote the blockchain book<\/p>\n

I found this lying around. For all those who’ve been missing the Fall section titles. Suggested by Andrew Robertson, and David Golumbia liked it too.<\/p>\n
