The craft that this here poet uses
English words roughly abuses
But he can use it if he chooses
Though the the reader it confuses
And in obscurity he loses
-
He gives the grammarian a jolt
(Of something like a million volt)
It makes them think he was a dolt
(Or maybe in a crazy cult)
Oh, how there wasn't a revolt!
-
The French they probably kicked him out
For not knowing what to talk about
And making people want to shout
But likely he got lost en route
Consistency, he couldn't tout
-
Then like an awful nightmare dream
Arrested, was, by his own team
Offence of words, so it would seem
Oh, how he made them turn to steam!
And so he stayed across the stream
When you're a man, sometimes you write silly poetry in your room... It's for fun. Just having some fun after reading some of E. E. Cummings work... I kind of like some of his poems, but some of them sure are... something. This isn't meant as an in depth critique, as I'm sure you can tell.
