how they make poets

take 1 awkward

bastard child

then fill their head

with an intricate mess

of ponderings

of mainly men - long dead

until they positively oggle

at what was once

pretentious twaddle.






then give this bastard

child a pen

or better still

a feathered

 quill

add misery

so they cure themselves

witless

thus pleasing an elite

& boring everyone else

shitless

... 








(author nodes... a touch tongue-in-cheek but too much truth too)
