Poets put down your pens.
Please position yourselves
For this painful news:
My poem is published!
Perhaps this pronouncement
Only partially penetrates
Your puss-pocket.
Pity.
Ponder your paucity
Of poetic prowess
If possible.
Or
Peruse in print
My pithy paragraphs
Pandemic to people
Of all planets
And pungently partake
Of the poignant
Power of my psyche.
This is even better if you imagine it read in the voice of Sylvester the Cat.
whoa, you’re right jim.
There is no reason to write poetry now that this has been posted. I’m putting away my Parker pen. It’s another awfully amusing poetic exercise from Mr. Defcon.
