Vacant Verse
I haven’t anything to say,
Or any tale to tell,
Admitting that I might as well
Refuse to write today.
There isn’t any crueler crime
Or evil any worse
Than writing nothing in a verse,
And setting it to rhyme.
But other poets I have read
Have often written to
Impress themselves, or else a few
Professor-friends instead.
