That's not poetry, those are greeting cards
And not very good ones at that
You call yourself a poet, who are you kidding
Why don't you just give up, adnit you failed
Well, you might not think so but I am a poet
Maybe not in the same league as you
But then again, I don't think you're so good
At least I have one fan, other than myself
Just look at all that sentimental drivel
I love you, I love you l, oh how sweet
And those heartache poems, stop you're breaking my heart
At least my writing is from my heart
I mean every single word I say
I'm not some artsy-fartsy phony
Who thinks that rhyming poetry is passe
Artsy-fartsy phony you say
You wouldn't know good poetry if it bit you
All these so called poets make me sick
And you're number one on my list
Well if you don't like my work too bad
I'm not about to be something I'm not
Just to earn the respect of people like you
And yes, I do call myself a poet
