You Only Taunt The Ones You Love

You Only Taunt The Ones You Love

With your sick and twisted prompts you taunt,
and those weird poetic forms you flaunt -
you three sit there as judge and jury,
picking winners in no great hurry.

"Write of dandruff, shopping!" you declare
with your damned United Kingdom flair
for the dramatic - "Write of bikes too!
And fit it into a short haiku."

Then there is YOU, who can't even spell -
your evil prompts, they come straight from hell!
"Body Electric?" Alas, poor Walt!
Of your strange themes there is just no halt.

And last, our lovely Queen from the North,
with such freaky forms you did come forth -
"Write a huitain about savings!
Or a sedoka about traffic ravings!"

The three of you have made me insane!
But my poems are no longer inane...
