He told me my poetry’s dross;
And he says he don’t care a toss.
Well,at least I do try.
So he can cover his eyes.
Let’s see who feels the worst loss.
My English is getting real quaint;
Standard it certainly ain’t.
I write like a foreigner
Who’s studied astronomy.
I feel upset when my paper is feint.
Some people write with aplomb.
So we must admire them and some!
Others are tentative
Faintly lamentative
All I can say is,how come?
I had an inchoate dream.
Woke the cat up with a scream.
No detail remains
But my complexion is stained
With tears for I saw the word “MEME”.
