No poets
allowed
The
morning classified read
Well, that
just made me fume,
Go red in
the head
No
wordsmiths like Wordsworth?
And decent blokes like Blake?
And decent blokes like Blake?
Like lots
of the news these days,
Maybe it's
fake
Is it
legal to say
To
Shakespeare's crowd
"No
stanzas! No quatrains!
No
sonneting allowed!"?
"You're
not welcome here
With your
quill and your pen
Thank you
kindly, but please
Don't come
back here again"
What about
people
Who might
dabble in haiku?
"No,
none of them, too!"
How dare
they discriminate
Against
the versifying masses
Oh, wait a
minute
Where did I put my glasses?
