sprinkle them with twinkling stardust
post them off with copperplate cheques
the judges wipe their arses on them

everyone knows it's just a joke
who gets taken - the foolish and vain
if they're daft enough and such bad poets
more money than sense the best advice 
is - keep it up grannies the cause
is noble and we'll take your cheque

...ped

And like you told the truth about how bad poetry
