All Greek To Me

All Greek To Me I wonder why most poems are so God damn sad Filled with questions that don’t have answers Why do poets need a shoulder to cry on Preferring tears instead of laughter. Is there guilt in feeling joyeous Is that the reason it's so rarely expressed Your poems with their depressing topics Are tiresome boring at best This began long ago in Ancient Greece Where they so enjoyed the pain of others Every play or story resulted in tragedy Or ended with the sons marrying their mothers Next time you ask me my opinion of your poem. Filled with heartache death and misery Don't think me rude or sarcastic When I answer "It was all Greek to me."
