Notes About The Poem

Someone asked me, do you know the expression "kill two birds with one stone" I replied, sorry I did not!

Tricks

Ladies sell them
Men con them
Some poets pretend
To have the cards
Of poetic verse

Now really
Is that not perverse?
Even clowns know
How to juggle a few words
Of insane verse!

A thorny issue difficult to handle my friend, Arthur, however, humans have the need to express themselves no matter how imperfect their efforts may appear to be! Those who read have the right and the obligation to judge! Food for thought your poem my friend!
