An Appeal To, As Yet, Undiscovered Poets

Undiscovered poets hear me, to PH draw near, 
This just might be a good chance for your views to ring clear.

An email address you need to get up and running, 
Huge monkeys it‘s said could really write something stunning.

So grab paper and pen, come as soon as you canna, 
But don't forget please sir to bring several banana.

Enough monkey typewriters might just supplant Shakespeare, 
Given enough time (and assuming plenty of beer.)    

We don't have all day but trust me. I have a good hunch, 
With banana enough friend we don't think about lunch.

So let's all hop to it just see man what we can do, 
If monkey shenanigans truly carry us though.

Show literary typos the ace in our pocket, 
By lighting the fuse to our post(English) grad rocket.
