They say that poetry is dead although I'm not sure who "they" be because I'm sat here writing it so it aint dead to me
They say that poetry is lame all romantic fluff and crap but can you woo fair maidens with a line from Andy Capp?
They say that poets all die poor cash poor? that may be true. but there's other kinds of riches I receive when I reach you
See its not about the money although more would be nice It's all about connecting and making you think twice
So poets, like their poetry are neither lame nor dead and if you dont believe me just look back at what you've read
