Re Poets Too Busy To Read

RE : POETS TOO BUSY TO READ

I'm too busy-- someone writes--
Find no time both day and night
If i could--I'd read your work---

but for now she'll be a jerk

Busy writers never read
Work of others till they need
Someone to read works of theirs
Than they read like hungry bears
