bob kanefsky - trilogy readers lyrics

we bought your book and we drooled in droves
over endless action from front to back
we finished the book and found we’d been took
for an end is an awful thing to lack
but the author says she’s not done
we’d have saved our cash if she’d mentioned it then
and she won’t say why. and she won’t say how
she says to be continued suckered again!

but they don’t work, so they don’t care
each volume costs us an hour’s wage
for they only see how the money rolls in
and that publishers pay them by the page
so the author laughs and rubs her hands
and the publishers make a tidy sum
and the bookstores where they spring their trap
rake our paychecks in as fast as they come

the end is near, the author claims
you publishers sing the same refrain
but we won’t stand this kind of deceit
and knowing we may be waiting in vain
we demand to read finished work
this is art, not some layaway plan!
and you greedy hogs better heed our call
or you’ll know the wrath of s.f. fans
for we’ve found a way we can get revenge
on trilogy authors, one and all
you’ll regret the size of your debt
when you find that your back’s against the wall
you will yield to all our demands
when we tell you just what we’ve got in store
if you want the details of what we’ve planned …
you’ll have to wait: the end’s in westerfilk four
