turd

Poetry is shit,

Sometimes it spouts out

In great gouts

Of snivelling piffle

And wittering drivel.

Elsewhen constipation of inspiration

Can clench the situation.

A poet may strain and strain.

And produce a void.

As though dosed up

On opioids

They can emit no odes or verse,

And what’s worse,

There may be a sonnet or even a haiku,

Stuck right up there,

Somewhere.

The one day,

Grunt, spurt, splash,

The poet produces

More balderdash.
