for impersonating a poet

and practicing poetry

without a license

the poet claimed he

did not know his poetry

was criminal

but authorities begged to differ

when questioned

he pled the 10th

which is twice as good as the 5th

but it did no good

since there were eye-witnesses

to his offensive poetry

who said they were reduced to tears

and would never listen

to poetry again

it is imperative women & children

and the free world

be protected

common decency and good taste

must prevail

with poetry this bad

no one is safe

and the entire literary establishment

is threatened

the poet appealed

to fellow poets and the general public

for moral and financial support

so far

no one has come forward.
