A Panel of Experts

They are vain, quarrelsome men
Bloated, opinionated,
Untidy, men cosseted 
By the academic life,
The literary life—smug,
Tell you what authors are in
Or out. They know best—of course.

Hahahaha...... The panel of experts have got their reply. Short but wholesome write, with no addition or subtraction. Nice one! ;-)
