Example Poem
Listen Up (Lazy Day Sonnet)
The bishop
postulates his weekly view.
If I attend I listen
weakly too.
"Begetting best
begins when one is wed,
so wait 'til then to
take him to your bed."
The teachers when
they must presume to speak,
and parents too, set
forth the same critique.
I hear the words yet
see our public men
succumb to power's
perks now and again,
to bed a beau- yes,
even priests. Amen!
Thus seems they set
for us a stale canard
the powerful assume
they can discard,
Rebutting or
ignoring is not hard.
Their dogma need not
now define my role.
It seems that
pregnant chicks go on the dole!
