Is This The ‘Right’ Way to Describe Copywriting?

The following piece of ‘copy’ has been passed around the Net for several years now, and I have adapted it in order to promote my business as a copywriter when I give short presentations to other business people. I would like to acknowledge the person who originally came up with this gem, whoever you are!

Copywriting is all about making as few words as possible work as hard as possible to promote your business.

So, when you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy that you write, if the copy is right. If, however, your copy is not right, you must rewrite your copy to get it right. If you write religious services, you write rites, and have the right to copyright the rites that you write.

Very conservative people would write right-wing copy, and have the right to copyright the right-wing copy that they write. A right-wing cleric, such as the Rev. Jim Wright, could write right-wing religious rites, and would have the right to copyright the right-wing rites he has the right to write.

Right!
