Poerty

Anyone can write a poem I mean, they’ve never passed a law and with the quick access to paper and all. Of course, the serial poet’s the danger that keeps us up at night - someone lacking the gene for rhyme control. Normal people can’t imagine such wonton, naked promiscuity with words. It’s best that we ignore them - to nip it in the bud. A real collective effort is required - let us build institutional archives - yes - we’ll call them libraries - to lock such verse away - may it never again see the light of day. If you catch a child with a pencil, slap it out of their little hand because we cannot start too early in discouraging needless rhyme. This public service announcement - pointing out this new “poetry” trend - was made for the benefit of all.
