I’m with the band.




I’m not a major celebrity.
I’m not a minor celebrity.
I’m not even a mini celebrity.
But now that the St. Davids Sanctified Ukelele Band is on You Tube, I might be a micro celebrity. Click on the link to see and hear our performance.



That took place at the Awards Banquet on Saturday night, June 27. However, the song has more verses which we sang at “Got Talent?” on Thursday night, June 25. So, to satisfy our growing fan base, I’m posting all the verses right here.
Feel free to sing my song at your critique groups and conferences, but please give a nod to me, the composer of the lyrics. 
Maybe it will make me a mini celebrity.

He’s got the first prize winner in his hands
He’s got the honorable mention in his hands
He’s got the “shouldn’t have entered” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got the Punctuation Princess in his hands
He’s got the Comma Queen in his hands
He’s got the “what’s an ellipsis?” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got rising action in his hands
He’s got character development in his hands
He’s got “fell in a plot hole” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got the bestselling authors in his hands
He’s got the freelance writers in his hands
He’s got the “don’t quit your day job” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got the daily bloggers in his hands
He’s got the weekly bloggers in his hands
He’s got the “what’s a blogger?” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got the free verse poets in his hands
He’s got the haiku writers in his hands
He’s got the low-ku** writers in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

He’s got the plotters and the pantsers in his hands
He’s got the nanowrimers in his hands
He’s got the “title page is finished” in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands.

** Low-ku was created by Donald Hasselman when he used the Haiku pattern to write “Diapers in the Wind.”
