My Blue Dress Is Not a Fashion Statement

With inspiration born from noted malcontent I composed, dismayed at the reason to vent In defense of poets, I am inclined to defend I'll wear a blue dress to commend, not offend I've been waiting for an auspicious occasion Putting it on took not a smidge of persuasion for there is a cause requiring a special dress a situation with which you may acquiesce It's been hanging in my closet for over a year Perhaps a titch too tight and much too sheer Not the kind of thing I often wear, I confess Not a fashion statement; my symbolic dress Garbed in blue silk, my sentiments are divided for innocence and impishness have dually collided I'm championing those who were rudely slighted and call "foul" to the action of being shortsighted After discovering the facts, I cried, "Oh, my gosh! What poppycock is this disrespectful pish posh?" No poet should be subjected to such degrading It's never kind to disparage in a public upbraiding I had no plan to wear a garment of blue, and yet I've zipped it without a smattering of regret to give a thumbs up to poets who were spurned by an insulting rebuke that none of them earned
