Dazed and confused? Not me. I’m just Lost in the Cheese Aisle.

NA PO WRI MO, DAY 29:
THE LAMENT OF THE POET LAUREATE

The Lament of the Poet Laureate

Free verse is a curse
And rhyme is a crime
A lim’rick’s beneath all contempt

A paean’s obscaean
And a haiku, I pooh-pooh
A sonnet is somewhat unkempt

The tanka is ranka
Than an ode in a commode
And an elegy makes me verklempt

The epic’s dyspeptic
A hymn makes my head swim
Writing poetry don’t pay the rent
