To Hicks In the Sticks

His name is Timothy Hicks His work sure gives me the kicks He is a great sage Despite his young age He shows us poetry’s tricks He has an ambitious mind His posts are ever so kind He’s special to me And that’s plain to see I hope a sweet girl he’ll find If she will mess with his brain I’ll beat her up with my cane I’ll make her regret That she made him fret I’ll give her neck a good sprain Dear Hicks, speak up and speak out Be sure your words have much clout You’ve got a great take Conventions to break You know what life is about! “Keep writing” is what I say We’ll see a new break of day Where all will be right Our future so bright “Be faithful,” is what I pray!
