What if I change my name?
The list of poets then
would not be such a shame
to those few clever men.
They could just go pretending
that I am so pathetic
and would need no amending
get rid of this emetic.
I wonder if Old Bill
from superpower Britain
have public standing still
the masses would be smitten
Or what of Friedrich Schiller
a cousin to the Nietzsches
that would be such a killer
for all the living leeches.
I think I will decline
they'll find their own new tricks
I drink blueberry wine
I do not have to mix.
A man who gives his word
is worth no more than what
it stands for, have you heard
a word from me that's not?
The world is one big lake
and people are the ducks
they like to eat the cake
their soul, however sucks.
