A Poem About My Cynical Relationship With Poetry

There are some who may not know it
But I don’t claim to be a poet
And though I sometimes write in verse
I can think of nothing worse
Than reading poetry I wrote
That would really get my goat
So if you ask me to read this
I’ll choose to give it a miss
Though it won’t stop me writing more
And continuing to bore
Anyone who reads my blog
Persevering with the slog
Of reading poetry this bad
Because it makes me glad
When my blogging stats increase
And that’s why I’ll never cease
To produce underwhelming rhymes
It’s a reflection of our times
That when my self-esteem hikes
It’s due to getting extra likes
And the poems I compose
Get more likes than my prose
