“Email is the thing
that pays for the bling.
Email lets your thoughts unravel,
filling your coffers for foreign travel.”
– el Furecat, aka Matt Furey
Today is my birthday. I am officially 60 years of age.
And my daughter, Faith, is officially 19.
Time flies.
My friend, Lama Lar, wrote me yesterday to tell me
that today is also VESAK, or Buddha’s Birthday.
How about that?
el Furecat, his daughter Faith and the Buddha have
the same birthday?
Amazing.
Then again, creepy Karl Marx shares the same
birthday.
Don’t want no part of that ideology.
Early this morning, as in 1 AM early, my wife
gave me one of my favorite collectibles.
A brand spanking new Montblanc pen.
I filled it with blue ink and began writing a
few lines in cursive. For those of you in
the U.K. or Australia, that’s what you call
“joined up” writing.
Cursive writing is a copywriter’s best friend.
If you write in BLOCK letters,
there’s not the same flow,
and whaddyknow,
you won’t get the same results.
Cursive writing unlocks the brain,
giving your words the power
of a freight train.
Yesterday a man wrote,
“So, you’re a poet now.”
I’ve always been a poet.
He just doesn’t know it.
Started out that way as a child,
when I was unrefined and wild.
Hid my poetry for many years,
fearful of imaginary laughs and jeers.
Then one day I unleashed my art,
had no intention of looking smart.
Didn’t know how it would be received,
then along came a letter, and I believed.
Copywriters who cannot write in rhymes,
ain’t worth a damn, much less a dime.
Last December, my Zen Mastery Newsletter
was filled with a plethora of inspiring poems
pithy sayings and witticisms. Much of it was
written over the years, but never let out of the bag.
’twas my private and personal thoughts on success.
One subscriber, the great Michael McLean, told me
that one issue of Zen Mastery
was the most POWERFUL, impactful newsletter he has
read from ANYONE in the last three years.
I was STUNNED. Even though I shouldn’t be.
Poetry is PERSUAVIVE.
Don’t think so?
Then look up the phrase…
“If the glove doesn’t fit,
you must acquit.”
– Johnnie Cochran
Anyway, for today only, I have added my
Poetry is Persuasive newsletter as one of
your bonus gifts.
If Michael McLean, who’s made over $155 millyuns in
this marketing whirld says my newsletter kicks azz, then,
as the saying goes,
”You can take that to the bank.”
This offer ends at MIDNIGHT.
