If your friend is a poet
And thus uncomfortable,
Do not despair, for
He is not incurable.
Some time when the weather
Is way below zero
Seize him and play for
A moment the Nero.
Lead him some place where
The SHOWS drifted worst,
Then gleefully toss him
Into it head first.
There let him remain for
Three hours or so;
He'll then burn his verses
