A Poet Adverse Verse Testament-

All things can tempt me from this craft of verse One time it was a woman's face An animals cry or worse The seemingly needs of my full driven land Nothing but worse, comes to move guide my hand Then this a custom coil When I was young I had not given a penny for a song Season's toil emotions boil Did not poet sing it with such heirs That one beloved he had a sword upstairs It would be nice now could I have my wish Pierced hearts of the metal cold twist And dumber in deffer than a fish
