CRITICS
I had an E-mail coming in last night
O what surprise! surprise! - and great delight!
When I was down and out and laying low,
The Lord was pleased sweet comfort to bestow.
The message, from a chap, adroit and smart,
A little whiz - whose name is Degenhard,
T’was only on a photo that I saw
A hop-o‘-my-thumb, so small, but now in awe
I read his message, and electrified
I wondered if my eyes did see aright
He handled English oh so masterly,
With finished, polished virtuosity.
His competence was manifest - surprise!
With shining language skills! - I must surmise
In literary fields both will excel,
A “Must” for those that write so very well!.
To make this short,- these fellows’ message read:
“We read your work grand-aunt Elizabeth"!
"You wrote about grand-pa a poem too,
Which we do like a lot and often view",
We read your many poems and believe
You wrote fourteen about grand-uncle Steve;.
We are all set, grand-aunt to critique you;-
That’s what you need, keen critics and review!
Of works with lmuch explanatory prose.
We‘r not too fond- please stay away from those!
They weary like worm-noodles reader’s eyes,
And rob the poetry of tang and spice.”
An asset are fine critics, but Alas!
Impartial ones are very rare and thus,
We will take over and direct this show
And shake up poets that are laying low.
I do not need to tell what great relief
This message brought to me in time of grief
Oh blessed E-mail! - Lord! - these chaps are smart,
My Critics Konstantin and Degenhard.
