Couldn't possibly be more
Every thing ! lay my hands on,
Modern works or ancient lore.
But of all things I've perused
(And indeed I've read a sight)
Nothing seems to me SO clever
AS the poetry write.
Shakespeare? Well. he's pretty good.
Milton? HIM. l guess he'll do.
Pope and Browning? Just $3.50.
Keats? I've never read him through
Byron? Well. his styles too free.
Tennyson? Too serious. quite.
None of them can hold candle
To the poetry l write.

Backward. forward, by the hour
Such magnif1cence of diction!
Phrasing Of unequaled power!
Often over 1t I've pored
Far into the Silly night.
Nothing fills me with such bliss
AS the poetry l write.
Every words polished Jewel.
Strings of gems are every line.
Strange that editors opinions
Rarely coincide with mine!
Some day they will beg my verse
But they'll never get mite.
For they won't deserve such luck
AS the poetry l write!
