Nobody wants to be like,
                Liked yes, similar no.
                I know twins,
                Both their initials begin
                With R, RR And RR.
                They are known as the
                Orrorrs at school.

                There is no need for like,
                Not even of minds.
                In poetry,
                ( to my way of thinking )
                Like is a joker in the
                Pack of words.

                Heaney is fond of it and
                Mary Oliver even began
                A poem with it.
                " Like Magellan, let us
                Find our Islands.

                Like assassinates metaphor
                And debases simile.
                But who am I to criticize
                The masters of whom I
                Aspire to be Like !
