Just For You Poetry

A poet rinsed his words through
And in-to good order put
He dried them and he checked them
So the reader wouldn't tut

He folded them so neatly
And so clean they wouldn't tend
Too really tell a story
Or in any way...offend

Then he had a feeling
That they could be misconstrued
And worried so completely
At the way they may be viewed

And so he washed and dried them
disinfected them as well
Not thinking that his cleanliness
Would mean he couldn't sell

The story he set out to tell
Which well along the way
Had simply lost all meaning
And smelt badly of decay

And so...back to the drawing board
The polished writer went
And vowed to write more filthy stuff
So folk knew what he meant

I love this. It's so whitty with a really great ending.

What a fusspot he was, and a usual the humor is brilliant Steven, especially the closing lines. I imagine all the fun he is having now as he gets up to filthy mischief. (lol)

You sum them up well Steve - - ha ha - loved that last move he made to get readers eh .

Hahaha.. great stuff.. it only goes to show that filthy is more popular..

Wow Steven ...you never disappoint loved the witty ending

I enjoyed this very much and you know, the same is true of writing novels or stories in India. witty and well penned.

I needed the laugh! Thank you! Good writing!

Good enough, even without tbe filthy stuff.A funny, somewhat satiric view of a poet working with his confused muse.Enjoyed this
