A Full Head of Hair
A poet may tear out his hair
if he truly does care
to follow every rule
they teach him in school
One foot too long, or one too short
can his finest ideas abort
And woe be it if an accent or two
fits not the traditional pattern
Let syllables be counted
stanzas too
Lest be committed
egregious boo-boos
So if a poet you know
has a full head of hair
He's either a rebel who dared ~
of of baldness he's scared
