Didactic or not didactic, That's the elementary question. Those who say they're not didactic Challenge those who write didactic. But although they're not didactic By example are didactic Teaching not to be didactic - Excruciatingly undidactic. Who would want to be didactic When you can be undidactic, Or the other way around! Think I'll take the silent ground And storm the rest for didactism Wherewithal I'd not be found!

Much heated online discussion about what is didactic poetry and whether it is acceptable or not.  I had to get a giggle out of it.
