I Can'T Marry a Poetess
I can't marry a poetess,
Because her ink will be the language,
Spoken through my ears with words,
And rhythms then,
My heart will be hanged under the,
Bed of Shakespeare.
I can't marry a poetess,
She might forcefully push me in bed,
Just to ask me for the author of,
"Lonely Day" then,
The liquid in our pens will always battle.
I can't marry a poetess,
She will make me the ink of her pen.
She will starve me to feed from her pen,
Then poetry will be our end-meat.
I can't marry a poetess,
I'm now speechless, but let them,
Say what they have to say.
Jamesetta will kill me with poems,
Instead of a cake.
I can't marry a poetess,
She might expect me to describe her,
In the presence of romance.
Thought l love Jamesetta, but l prefer,
Rozetta.
I throw this question to you,
What would you do if you were me?
