Stuff

I’ve got a buddy in the trade
By whom as much a mess is made
Of rhyme and meter as my own

Which is to say, of course, I mean
His rhyme and meter’s awful keen
I have enamored of it grown

Enamored of its groan, as well
For, once beneath its turgid spell,
No longer reas’ning very well,

Imagine it me much amuse
Replete with qualities profuse
Some other qualities excuse

Like, just for instance, last time I
Was made to laugh his poems by
I spewed my cocktail on my skirt

For which no other reason than
An absolutely ideal man
Decided after all he wouldn’t flirt

Reading this poet can be
High risk occupation for me
And just as if that hazard weren’t enough

Under his influence find
I’m turning to a whole behind
That guy has got me writing silly stuff!

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working to contribute to her society, however, seven days a week.
