Poem Title:

Poem

if the poem tastes too sweet
add a pinch of salt

if the poem tickles you
wear medieval armour

if the poem hits a nerve
numb yourself into submission

if the poem scratches you
place gloves upon its hands

if the poem is angry
placate it, talk it down

if the poem reflects your life
consider it autobiographical 

if the poem is abstract, phonetic
grm, drm, frm, (e)ko, da(k)

if the poem is hungry
feed it typewriter ribbons

if the poem copies e.e.cummings
does it, said he/she

if the poem sets off fireworks
take away its matches

if the poem thinks dictionary
tell it to exeunt 

if the poem blames others
remind it of its responsibilities 

if the poem dangles over the edge
push the b*stard in

if the poem is rude, lewd, crude
teach it some manners

if the poem ejaculates
make it clean it up itself

if the poem colourises 
show it the value of monotone

if the poem bawls like a baby
smother it, drown it

if the poem gets sent to jail
let it fester, let it rot

if the poem was written by you
then you are a liar

if the poem fades away
let it go and know

if the poem says “and another thing”
then I advise deafness...
