Notes About The Poem

To the tune of Pop, Goes the Weasel...

Pop, Goes the Poem

All around the feathery quill
   The poet penned his verses
Some are sweet, while others are shrill
   And some move folks to curses

His poetry's sad; his poetry's mad
   At times, it even makes your heart glad
That's why his lines are from the heart
   Not blue, but red ink ~ true poetry smarts

Nice comment, 'steppy!' You're spot on, Douglas, as that's exactly what this little write is supposed to be. Appreciated greatly! ~ Gershon

I like the rhyming of this. It gives it a jazzy lilt.

Good. Benny Goodman will record it in a few (reversed) decades perhaps. LOL. Thank you for the encouragement, Caren. :) gw
