[Sweet poetess, your poetry]
To the question as to whether this poem is worth anything we chose to answer in verse as follows:
Sweet poetess, your poetry
Is bad as bad can be,
And yet we heartily deplore
The death of Minnie Lee.
Is bad as bad can be,
And yet we heartily deplore
The death of Minnie Lee.
It would have pleased us better
If, in His wisdom, He
Had taken you, sweet poetess,
Instead of Minnie Lee.
If, in His wisdom, He
Had taken you, sweet poetess,
Instead of Minnie Lee.
Your turn will come, however,
And swift and sure 'twill be
If you continue sending
Your rhymes on Minnie Lee.
And swift and sure 'twill be
If you continue sending
Your rhymes on Minnie Lee.
From this we hope you will gather
A dim surmise that we
Don't take much stock in poems
Concerning Minnie Lee.
A dim surmise that we
Don't take much stock in poems
Concerning Minnie Lee.
