Bard's East Side Recitation

ya can't recite a sonnet without a union card we got rules here ya know now move along, you're not da bard ya can't be a narrated narrative neither an alliterative comparative voiced onomatopoeia sounds like a panacea but the aesthetics don't fit the phonetics ya can't be a couple-a-couplets droppin' duo doubles as doublets ya can't be a Limerick either now ya don't look Irish neither so, authentic you ain't don't make no complaint got no chew but yer one last incisor ya can't get on the open-mic an' recite jus' anything ya like it takes rules and forms to fit into da norms without causin' a riot or strike so jus' be aware, we got rules here acrostics will get cha put down Iambic pentameter - is the wroong parameter, and the villanelle - don't go over so well your calligraphy don't mean nutin' ta dem - or me so jus' know, how we blow...
