Quatrain Migraines
“Your quatrains are giving me migraines”
Think I just heard someone say
Sorry my good friends that's all I know
At the number of forms, I'm amazed
Could branch out, attempt something new
A style artsy fartsy and clever
But I get all sweaty at the thought of failure
So I stick to what I've known forever
This form has always been poetry to me
Since I was knee high to a grasshopper
Very famous bards have used other forms
Not this simple minded clodhopper
Some of us guys seem to like simplicity
And I'm about as simple as it gets
Maybe one day when I'm old and grey
Oops! I am! I tend to forget!
