I'm just a lowly poet

Trying to learn the ropes

My friend said it will drive me nuts

How am I gonna cope ?

 

A lowly poet, yes, I am

Trying to learn the ropes

Iamb. trochee, spondee SCREAM !

How am I gonna cope ?

 

Although a lowly poet

I now have poet friends

Despite 10,000 miles away

I won't go round the bend

 

Now Brian M and others

Will help me learn the ropes

Despite 10,000 miles away

I'm sure they'll help me cope

 

Now your Brian Maryon interests me

A poet of some note

He comments here and comments there

Nor does he sugarcoat

 

He seems a just-right mentor

For lowly poet-follow

His comments deeply serious

And never, ever hollow

 

I'm sure he's read of Hazel E's

Roll-naked in the mud

Funny, there's no comment yet ?

 

(Is it 'cause he does it?...)
