Hey, I could use a poem or two
To brighten up my day —
There’s nothing like a merry verse
To chase the gloom away.

Yes, I could use a poem or two
To thrust upon my foes —
There’s nothing like a witty word
To step on hated toes.

So, I could craft a poem or two,
But they are hard to hone.
There’s nothing like an awkward verse
To make an author groan.
