Re. Yellow Submarine
Here's the second effort to Yellow Submarine

Indie Submarine

In the town where I was born
lived no man to write a book
In the town where I was born,
poetry was off the hook.

we all live in an indie submarine,
indie submarine
indie submarine...

When the stores were all locked down
even in our tiny town
When the stores where all locked down
new worlds had to be found without a frown
All we need to make a day
is some book, a book to sway
the mind from dire, dire dreams
and Covid's nasty screams.
So I went and wrote a book,
got my mind, mind off the hook

We all live in an indie submarine, indie submarine, indie submarine...

Well, who does not know
publishers will have no
author unatied
to an agent, and untried
I all had the words, the words I need,
but no publisher submarine...

We all live in an indie submarine, indie submarine, indie submarine...

Did apply, did did what I need
got on the vanity submarine
ponied up a lot of dough
in embarrassment I now cough

We all live in an in die submarine, in die submarine, indie submarine...

But one day, one day so fine the university
of YouTube divine, by diversity
I found friends in net's community
gave me advice, advice for free,
cut the cable, set words free...

We all live in the indie submarine, indie submarine, indie submarine...

All we do, is write and write
full of words and never trite
in the sea, the deep blue sea
of the internet oh, still free,
all we need, friends far and wide
where the world is but next door
and a hand, a hand to moore,
swapping tips and a bright idea,
we don't hide
we never hide,
but some sales, oh they would please

in the indie submarine...

We all live in the indie submarine, inie submarine, indie submarine...
