Spying

I was lucky to be in the end bedroom that looks onto the street and catch these three at the street library.  I can't make out the title on the book the little girl is holding.  The woman has another book in her bag.  I am guessing they have been giving their friendly looking dog a walk on the hill and have stopped into the library on the way home.  
The blue skies are back today and I have finally got smart and have been gardening on the shady side of the house.  I didn't want to choose another Beatles song but the words are so good.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I could make it longer if you like the style
I can change it 'round
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
