Poetry: Poets

"The Cons of Writing Prose"

A would-be poet laureate

Sought a rhyme for 'dysentery'

He struggled for three hours

With his rhyming dictionary

He moved to the next couplet

And sought a match for 'pagan'

He scratched his head, then he took

A dip of Copenhagen

"This rhyming stuff," he thought aloud,

"Isn't really what I chose!"

Then he thought about the many cons

That come with writing prose

See, with a grasp of meter

And good rhymes-if you don't blow it

Anyone with pen and pad

Can be a budding poet
