I'm not one of them

Poetry is full of idiots
That want to write poetry
It is proper morons
Trying so goddamn hard
to refine English
I'm not a poet
I could never admit to that

Too often
They think of poetry
and yawn
And I don't blame them
but I'm too busy writing songs
without music
or prose with rhymes
to hear them

Poetry is full of bums
That think they're reaching
a higher plane
God stands solemn and belly laughs

Poetry is full of idiots
That think they have something
Worthwhile to say
What did I tell you
Couldn't if I tried
