To his boy mistress:
You are the most consecutive lover in the world
The sun has never gloamed as much as you do
When Cassius and his kin their daggers hurled
You were out of town meeting customers I once knew
Oh,God, not another cliche attack on Advertising
That line has more than five beats in it but never mind
Even a Samaritan might be suicidal
If all their customers were so unkind
And when I dream of you, you are wearing all white clothing
Which shall boil for you in my slow cooker
Then we shall go roaming in the gloaming.
Maybe we’ ll have a drink with a few hookers
Iambic pentameter sucks as does the honey bee
This is the possibly worst poem anyone could ever see
That is supposed to be the end of verse
But I could invent one a great deal worse.
