The Real Poet

THE REAL POET 
THE REAL POET 
He penned a poem in the eye 
He did not miss a letter or a line he made it look so easy 
He told me he does it for the money just for the meat he likes to eat and then he 
made me sick when he told me he can do it anywhere at anytime here is what he 
said to me eye can take a rhyme and rip it off and make the poem to get the stuff 
the stuff that life is made up of the money that eye need to drink the alcoholic 
beverages that eye am so fond of he trades his poetry for stuff he sells his soul 
in every page to drink he learns no more but lives he stinks he makes me want to 
cry weep moan and mend my evil ways because my poetry is free. The real poet 
is not me.
