Monday morning writing joke: “Slow go”

There once was a writer from Glasgow /

Whose writing was always a slow go. /

When turtles would mate /

He could write and relate; /

But for meeting deadlines he was always a no-show.

***

There was a writer who sent twenty different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did?!
