Sweet, sweet, sarcasm
"Write a poem." they say, as if it were easy.
I ask "what about?" and then they get greedy.
"An epic." one says, "a ballad" another
but then comes the trump
"A love story."
Oh brother.
I ask them what mood, and clamor will reign
they want a tragedy with bloodshed and pain.
I sigh and I write them a gory sob story but it ain't good enough. "There's not any glory!"
I growl and rewrite as a narrative type,
retelling the past few hours with hype
portraying myself as a hero oppressed
who got sick of the critics...
And killed them.
My Best!
