In the Library At Poets House
I am surrounded by
tens of thousands of
volumes of verse here
Chinese, Japanese ,Jewish and
just about every ethnic group is represented here
Spoke with the librarian
She said she is too busy to find the
time to write
Well, I have some time so
I am sitting down and writing this verse
I post regularly on poetrysoup.com
I have had 5 odes published in the New York Times
Well. I need a new (female) lover
I have prospects
but my messed up
insides require attention
I will make a nice dinner tonight
and pray my stomach will be alright
Her I am at Poets House
Let people scoff!
We versifiers know our real worth
The members of the thousand and one creeds
out there fighting
would do well to visit Poets House
Where one can find peace and poetic masterpieces
from many differnt lands and cultures
