Ben Franklin's bifocals April 20, 2006

Real Poets

Poet at his writing desk

Self-anointed Poets never come.
From the unwashed proletariat.
Much in favor is the chosen one
Appointed as the Poet Laureate.

Cowboy Poets never teach.
Nor do they bunk in at a Marriott.
Real Poets don't eat quiche.
They Lasso words with a Poet Lariat.

William's Whimsical Words:

Poorwilliam makes his rhymes.
But he cannot twirl a rope.
Pity him, as in these times,
Clearly he's beyond all hope.
