And they said, with a sigh,
“You foolish young guy”!,
He told them all to relax!

Remarked, “Britannica Pax”,
A man called Purse

Found a young woman asleep in their bed,
Her face turned dark

There Once Was A Poet Named Lin

There once was a poet named Lin
Who wrote poems on a baked bean tin.
She composed in free verse,
Which grew progressively worse,
But all the Modernists loved Lin!

Who said “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”.
But when they copied his art,
It broke his heart,
So he retired to live in a hattery!
