You Outta Publish Them Poems

by

Hardy Parkerson

Somebody said, "You outta publish them poems!"
That's easily said, but not so easily done;
But I do love poetry,
For nobody knows what it is.

In the land of the blind, one eye'll make you king;
And everybody's got an idea what makes a good poem;
so if you wanta be a poet,
YOu just gotta sit down and write.

You gotta look for those poems,
You gotta listen for rhyme;
You gotta sit and write poetry all the time.
You gotta study and study and study

and write and write and write.

Now I don't mind studyin',
And I don't mind learnin';
But when to write poetry my heart is a-yearnin',
I'm gonna write it, whether you like it or not.

I'm so tired of you phonies who sit and criticize
Everything good that passes 'fore your eyes,
Looking for the perfect, looking for the consummate poem.

So get off my back and let me go,

And I'll write mo' and mo' and mo';

And if you don't like it, hey!

Tell me somethin' new!
