Jack Benny Minus Ten
I would say for one,
you’ve been a lot of fun.
With the verbal eccentricities
showing in poetic entries.
that appear as lingual anomalies
to the insolent majorities.
With what you have shown,
you have a style all your own.
I think your work is fine.
In years amounting to twenty-nine,
I would say you’ve accomplished much.
With your poetry as such,
why don’t more admire your craft?
I would have never laughed.
Be proud of what you have done.
For twenty-nine is the square root of eight hundred forty-one.
Just a drop of water in a vast ocean.
I feel you have just begun.
in your short time revolving around the sun.
