Classic Poem

Say what you will in two
Words and get through.
Long, frilly
Palaver is silly.

Know how to read? you must
Before you can write. An idiot
Will always
Talk a lot.

You need not always narrate;
cite; date,
But listen a while and not say: "I! I!"
Want to know why?

The me is tyrannical;
academical.
Early, late
Boredom's cognate mate
in step at his side
And I with a me, I fear,
yet again!

Say what you will in two
Words and get through!
Long, frilly
Palaver is silly.
