On the Nature of Attaining to Poetic Excellence

To write a good poem is magic.

To craft a fine verse is a joy.

Well chosen rhymes in a meter that flows

Are... dagnabbit... like low fat soy?

I'll always be glad for my wisdom

In setting the bar on the ground.

For very poor poems 'bout nuthin' at all

Are the only ones, bless 'em, I've found.
