Which Will Be Worst

Which is worse either pathetic poetry writer?
Or a proprietor who has become a dieter
Charging high rent who wants to slowly slip out of sight.

Let's see you write a drastic poem about this subject
Without any one else ever trying to infect
And hope you have fun finding a craving
For poetry and to do it away are now slaving.

Make sure all tocks are preceded by ticks
And that both of your eyes you firmly fix
On a new poem you are about to deliver 
Making heart skip a beat and liver to quiver.

So what do you think? Should I give up or continue on?
