Unwanted Rhyme
Now here’s a sorry story, they say free verse is spreading hate
for all the rhyming poets that come knocking on your gate,
Fifty Thousand U S Dollars is the prize to tell us why
you hate all rhyming poets with a vengeance up on high.
I wonder if the classics will suffer from this test
and we’ll have to burn their offerings along with all the rest.
Maybe us unwanted fools will never then be found
or we’ll just appear to disappear and publish underground!
