Though posting rhymes in here more often
may take up space as well as soften
the rather scientific mission
as well as prompt a quick decision
to scold the writer for his deeds,
as many folks have differing needs,
from those who do appreciate
that life in a poetic state,
(though rarely a prerequisite)
does not preclude the use of wit,
nor earnest efforts to deduce
the inner workings of a goose.
Thus, in respect of those who rarely
partake of poetry, and barely
see beauty in the written word
(the definition of a nerd?) ,
let’s use the poet’s secateur,
it brings about a painless cure
and shortens poems long of wind
and leaves the poet double-chinned.
