This Ain'T My Day Job

Some people go to therapy
myself, I write bad poetry
and if I show too much of me
please do not think the less of me.

From anonymous cubes throughout the land
penning iambic pentameter with nervous hand
then sent using  elegant HTML command
with push of a button - whole continents spanned
this isn’t in budget, this wasn’t in plan
and worse than that, it doesn’t scan
but it is.

Some people go to therapy
myself, I write bad  poetry
and lest you think the less of me
I mask it all with irony.
