Crusty Old Hag

There once was a crusty old hag whose poetry made people gag. She once wrote a sonnet, the folks threw up on it and tossed it away in a bag. She went to a psychic who said, while turning up cards black and red, “I can see why they gripe, just stop writing this tripe. Have you thought of knitting instead?”

Terrific satirical poem, Dale. I don't really believe you think some poets are bad. that's what comedians do . It's their job.
