Poor Phraser

WRITE A POEM ABOUT ME, ME, ME

‘Write a poem about me’, she said

‘About my life and what my plans are’

but her muse has killed my art stone dead

She’s not worth a single stanza
 

‘Write a poem about me’, she said

‘Do it now, please, get straight on it’

but she inspires rude four-letter words

and not enough to fill a sonnet
 

‘Write a poem about me’ she said

‘Write an ode to my great beauty’

But the ode for her is ‘Odious’

and I won’t write out of duty
 

She’s a dreadful, superficial girl

She’s self-obsessed and smug and thick

with an noxious air of entitlement.

She’s less than a limerick.

But she demanded verse, so here it is.

I don’t think that she’ll like it.

And if anyone else demands one too

I’ll just have to recycle it.
