Advice to a poet:

Sometimes you will come up with dumb jokes

That are too oblong to confide

Take thirty minutes to write around it

Its limitations will be your guide

The more hoops you jump, the more clever

Trap yourself onto a side

Copy and paste and reiterate

At least you can say that you tried

There is a dumb secret about language

It's mostly that its just wide

People are easily impressed

As long as your writing shows pride
