Please Parse The Metaphor

Listen to poem:

Do you have a poetic licence to park your pitiful purple prose (alliteratively he wrote) it even puts my poor feet to sleep and gives me painful coma toes (literally did he quote) And have you paid your syn tax to persist in paltry poetry (a non sequitur perhaps) as dabbling in sad scribbling is how your paean 'ppears to me (no storied scripts mere scraps) Before paper and pen you pick up or possibly parchment and quill (pheasant not porcupine) please procrastinate perchance to ponder prior to putting out pig in a poke swill (pearls of wisdom before swine)
