Mark wanted to be a mogul.
But he had no show pull.
His movies were weak
No script, so to speak.
He kept at his trade.
Improved what he made
But nothing got better
'Till the academy's letter.
He had been selected
To have work protected
From copyright infringers
With tools from digital ninjas.
The trouble with that,
Fewer people sat
To endure his stuff
Yeah, life is sure tough.
