Poesy - a poet's lament.
The purpose of poesy
Be it spiritual or heresy
Reflects a disposition
The author's malediction
Swords threaten death
Words a bad breath
Pens dime a dozen
Publication frozen
Life is for the living
And choosing your position
Pen it to paper
Or act out some caper
To attract some mention
Go get the attention
Sloshed in a pub
And begging for grub
Shacked up with hippies
University drippies
Societies poppies
And media bobbies
Doctor a resume
Or dole queue Thursday
Revenue in Helen's reign
Put the snout up the drain.
Play at subtle warning
A pending doom dawning
Cream the adulation and
And a standing ovation.
