Arse Poetica

From poetaster to poet-ass
This ain't no leaf of  grass.
Walden's pond is a stinking morass
And love is but blaring brass.

No Elysian fields lie yore
And the  meadow is a blooming bore.
Nature is reduced to God's only whore
And all I feel is a whole lot sore.

Jealousy reigns supreme
Oh, why can't I just continue to dream.
If Life's best offer is a Krispy Kreme
Go to Hell if you don't like my scheme.
