Analysis of What's It About



pleasure me, please
don’t read this
to pieces

don’t even try to analyze
just try to sympathize
it isn’t angling for fame
just a pleasant wording game

maybe it isn’t wise
in your experienced eyes
will you feel deceived
then it’s not achieved

but luckily there are
loads of poems on the net
that will allure you and
give you the steam-outlet

so please for worse or better
bear it out to the end
here is the punch line then:

nothing’s the matter
