Poetry Fusillade, pt 11: The Poet Said
The Poet told him that
The things that he gave
Could also be had
From any good book
And a simple machine.
Oh, oh, oh:
She also said
With a little wave
That others,
All of them, they
Did things much better.
He was reassigned
From "loved" down to "liked"
But, you know,
"Those are just words"
The poet explained.
The last that he heard
Was her loudly asking
Exactly why it might be
He didn't want to talk.
Her poems didn't show that,
So she couldn't believe.
