Don't Pay The Poets

Don’t Pay The Poets

 

Don’t pay the poets.

There is no value in words,

we all use them

to some degree

and poets just turn them

into clever rhymes,

Don’t pay the poets.

For there are no tunes

to back their silly ramblings

and they make us feel

uncomfortable

with their ‘expressions’

and ‘feelings’.

 

Don’t pay the poets.
