What earthly good is the poet? He spins webs of words just to show it. It takes up his time, Is no good for a dime, He’ll just shuffle a thought and then blow it.
I shuffle through acres of poems Trusting when I see good ones I’ll know ‘em. Then finding a gem That electrocutes whim So, transfixed, my heart pounding, From Facebook and tweeting, I'll copy and save, On my blog write a rave, And in emails distribute and stow 'em.
