A musical list of the names of defunct magazines.
(To the tune of I Am a Very Model of A Modern Major General by Gilbert & Sullivan) By Bill Dyszel The many paper publications writers once were writing for Have mostly disappeared and left a handful all are fighting for They went by names like Mirabella, Cosmo Girl, and Living Well Amazing Stories, Omni, and Organic Style and Mademoiselle And Spirit of Aloha, which you may perchance have read in flight And also Windows Sources, HomePC, Musician, Cue and Byte And 7 Days and Audio, and Quick and Simple and Cachet And, PC Magazine, but no understood that anyway. When Budget Living says they're broke, you know conditions aren't so nice. And don't forget Success, whose claim to fame is that they failed twice. McCalls, Industry Standard, House & Garden all have gone away And Rosie sank as fast and deep as Underwater USA.
When Country Journal, Harper's, Jewish Woman, Coronet and Mode Have followed New Age Journal as they all were flushed down some commode When Blueprints future plans have all been relegated to the past And National Lampoon will surely not be who is laughing last. When Women's Sports and Fitness, Golf for Women, Gusto, Sync and Spy Are only sold along with Lifetime at that newsstand in the sky All writers start to fear that their careers are headed for the drain A lot like Talk and Child and Life and Look and Lear's and George and Jane. The experts all are telling us that in our brave new century There'll be new opportunities exciting and adventur-y But to a freelance writer none of this may seem too funny, Cause you know the next to go will close up shop and owe you money.

Yeah, I too noticed the mistaken inclusion of Harper's. Funnily enough, it's the one title I wish WOULD go out business, but it's supported by lefty foundation money. That's one way magazines may cling to life.
