So Funny it is Sad

I have always loved the song 'Paperback Writer' by the Beetles. It is the perfect example of a HORRIBLE query letter. It's the stuff that agents are always saying DON'T DO THIS. What makes it funny is it is really easy to see someone saying all of these things, in fact, painfully it may even be possible to remember having said some or all of the stuff in the song.

Here it is for those of you who haven't (somehow) heard it before... and for those of us who love it, it is always fun to listen to again.

Dear Sir or Madame,
Never have I listened to Paperback Writer so carefully before!
